INEVENTS SHALER AREA HIGH SCHOOL PRESENTS ‘SHREK THE MUSICAL’ Shaler Area High School students presented “Shrek the Musical” for two weekends in March. The show is based on the 2001 DreamWorks animated film “Shrek” and follows the title character, an ogre played by junior Sonny DeMasi, as the unlikely hero in an adventure that features a cast of fairytale creatures. Shrek teams up with Donkey, played by senior Michael Bly, as they set off on a journey to save the reluctant Princess Fiona, played by senior Kelsey Marshall, and help the fairytale creatures return to their homes after being cast out of Duloc by Lord Farquaad, played by senior Alex Almonte. The musical cast also included many of the film favorites including senior Madeline Bartosh as Gingy, senior Madison Reed as Pinocchio, and junior Zoe Babbit with seniors Michaela Brining and Emma Walter as the Dragon Trio. More than 100 additional students made up the ensemble, pit orchestra, and stage crew to produce the show. PHOTOS BY PRIMETIME SHOTS 10 724.942.0940 TO ADVERTISE ❘ icmags.com
