We went to the swamp this October to laugh and cry with the fairy tale characters in “Shrek the Musical.”

The Broadway sensation, based on DreamWorks Animation’s 2001 blockbuster Oscar-winning movie Shrek, will played October 5  through October 14 at Waubonsee Community College’s Auditorium on the Sugar Grove campus.

This spectacular family friendly musical was directed by Chris Roe, music directed by Lisa Wukitsch, and choreographed by Jeni Donahue with support back stage from Alexander Roe, Emile-Margaret Spangler, Kevin Whittington, and Ann Bruni.

Over 1,000 people came to see this awesome production!!  Thank you to all who attended.
