Another SMASH Production to Celebrate: Shrek The Musical JR.!
Beauty is in the eye of the ogre! 💚 We're excited to announce another production for the 2026/2027 season: Shrek The Musical JR., performed by our Rising STARS (ages 10 to 13) and Junior Company (ages 12 to 15).
The story
Based on the hit DreamWorks animated film and Broadway musical, Shrek The Musical JR. follows an ogre whose peaceful swamp is invaded by a group of fairy-tale misfits. He sets off on an unexpected adventure to reclaim his home, and along the way meets a talkative Donkey, a princess with a secret and plenty of familiar fairy-tale characters.
It's a funny, high-energy musical about friendship, acceptance and discovering what makes each of us special.
Two SMASH programs, one larger-than-life show
Shrek The Musical JR. gives our Rising STARS and Junior Company performers the chance to dive into a world full of memorable characters, big musical numbers and plenty of comedy. Each program performs its own cast, and Junior Company's performances are a double feature with SMASH Sparks, who open the show with Disney's The Jungle Book KIDS. Throughout the season, they're building their skills in acting, singing, dance and ensemble performance as they work toward opening night.
At its heart, Shrek celebrates being exactly who you are. We can't think of a better message for a SMASH stage.
