“We are so proud to be presenting ‘Shrek The Musical’ for our Boulder County audiences,” say directors Jeanie Balch and Taylor Roberts. “This energetic, heartwarming and hilarious show features unbelievable talent from a youthful cast whose ages range from 7 to 18. It will certainly be a show that you don’t want to miss!” Shrek the Musical stays true to the children’s book by William Steig where dragons are friendly, swamps are better than castles, and the true hero isn’t handsome or noble but a grouchy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside ogre who is more or less content with himself and his life in a swamp. Tickets are $14 for Adults, $10 students, $8 children under 12 and on sale at www.centerstagetheatercompany.org
