Shrek the Musical Jr. coming to the Playhouse in April




The Grand Marais Playhouse will produce Shrek the Musical Jr. for its annual spring Community Youth Play.

The play is open to community children in grades 3-12 with priority casting going to those in grades 3-8.

Vocal rehearsals will begin February 21 and 22, from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Come and learn the songs and story before auditions. These two rehearsals are voluntary and will not affect auditions, but attendance is highly encouraged.

Auditions will be Feb. 26 at 3:30 p.m. in the Arrowhead Center for the Arts (ACA). Rehearsals will be held on Mondays and Thursdays from 3:30 to 5 p.m.

Conflicts with the rehearsal schedule will affect casting decisions.

Performances are April 20 – 22 and April 27-29. The shows will be held at 7 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. on Sundays.

If you have time, we need tons of help to make crazy costumes and the set. Contact the Playhouse if interested in helping with costumes, set construction, scenic painting, video projections, sound effects, and stage properties. To learn more or to volunteer, contact director Sue Hennessy, sue@grandmaraisplayhouse.com, call (218) 387-1284 ext. 2, or write P.O.Box 996, Grand Marais, MN 55604.
