Director’s Note I am so glad to see us back in the theater this summer, as always there are so many opportunities to bring a little drama to our community. I have so enjoyed leading this cast. It has truly been a community experience. It has been a joy to watch Moms and Dads tend to children while taking direction to ask their child what the next step in a dance is. The joy that is experienced being onstage with families and getting to watch those interactions is unlike any other. In this show, Shrek finds his own family through a bunch of misfits just trying to find a little justice in the world...sounds a little familiar? I love that this show is about finding who you are and letting your flaws, your skills, and everything in between help you find a place in this world. Shrek is about finding where and with who you belong. I know for my journey in community theatre, this is exactly what I’ve found. My flaws are great and yet somehow make me a better person. My skills (though not before) have become many in learning just enough to make a costume or build a piece of a set, or help someone out with music (not my skill set, but I can in a pinch). We embrace all of who we are and find those rare moments in life when all that we are is used for something greater than ourselves. This is just community theater, a mere distraction from life, that causes a little stress, a little push out of your comfort zone, a little work, and a lot of trust in other people, but most of all, joy. Just community theater that creates relationships you can rely on, people who you care about, and more creativity than you can imagine . I am so grateful to have worked with this cast and crew to bring just a little humor for this short time. I hope you enjoy the performance as much as we have enjoyed creating it.
