Shrek comes to Lake Charles

"Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek...." And thus begins the tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescue. Throw in a short-tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there's one on hand... and his name is Shrek." - Music Theatre International

This magical once upon a time is going to be happening in Lake Charles, LA! That's right, Shrek, Princess Fiona, Donkey, and a whole host of other fairy tale creatures will be in Lake Charles, LA at ACTS Theatre at 1 Reid St.

This is an amazing cast and crew and an amazing director.

I don't know all of the magic that is yet to come, but I do know that this show is definitely going to be magical.

Don't miss Casey Doucet as Shrek, Kristen Harrell as Princess Fiona, Julian Quebedeaux as Donkey, and Damien Thibodeaux as Lord Farquaad.

It is said that it is difficult to work with children. You won't be able to tell because the children in this show know exactly what they are supposed to do and they are always on cue.

Shrek: The Musical is directed by Walt Kiser.
