“We had to make the characters three-
dimensional. They couldn’t just be the mean girl,
they had to have motivations, thoughts going
through their heads,” she explains.
“Shrek The Musical Jr.” tells the story of
an ogre named Shrek, who one day finds his
swamp home invaded by magical creatures
who have been banished by the tiny terror
Lord Farquaad because they are “freaks.” Shrek,
and a tag-along wisecracking donkey, confront
Farquaad and find themselves assigned with the
task of rescuing Princess Fiona in order to get
his swamp back. Along the way, they encounter
some bumps in the road, and Shrek comes to
find that maybe what he wants isn’t to be alone
at all, and the magical creatures realize their
power is in being different.
Ben Federico, 13, of Latrobe who played
Shrek said this is one of his favorite shows.
“Shrek is a great show because it embraces the
differences in individuality, especially the song
‘Freak Flag,’ saying you can show how you are
different and you shouldn’t be mad at yourself
for being different,” Ben says.
He adds that doing the show at Stage Right
makes the experience even better.
“Because [Stage Right] is my second home,
as they say… all the encouraging, kind-hearted
people at Stage Right just make it all come
together,” he says.
Emma Kate Angelo, 12, from Perryopolis,
played Fiona. She said she enjoyed the challenge
of playing the princess.
“It was different from roles I usually play.
She’s very all over the place, but she gets to do
everything, including humor. It got me out of
my comfort zone, because she goes crazy one
second, and the next second she’s a princess
again…. [In addition to the role,] I like that
the show is all about being different and you
don’t have to fit in, it’s okay to be different,”
Angelo says.
Stage Right amassed a highly decorated
team of professionals to lead more than eighty
students through this three-week camp. The
preteens were led by Nicole Stouffer— a
graduate of Point Park University with a BFA
in Musical Theatre, London Academy of Music
and Dramatic Art— and Ben Pimental— a
Musical Theater sophomore at the prestigious
University of Cincinnati College Conservatory
of Music. The teens were led by Tony and
Renata Marino, both Equity actors for over two
decades. Joining these directors was the voice
team of Lauren-Rose King and Christopher
McAllister.
