Rowlett Summer Musicals is rolling out the green carpet with their production of "Shrek Jr," a family-friendly stage adaptation of the beloved DreamWorks animation. The show will take place at the Plaza Theatre in Garland, with performances scheduled from Thursday, June 27, to Sunday, June 30.
This theater endeavor aims to delight audiences of both young and old, revealing again how a grumpy ogre's quest can turn into an unexpected journey of friendship and true love. In this retelling, Shrek embarks on a mission to rescue Princess Fiona and, alongside a chatterbox Donkey, confronts the vertically-challenged Lord Farquaad. "Shrek Jr" promises twists, turns, and a healthy dose of fun, according to the City of Garland.
Tickets are up for grabs at $15 for adults and $12 for children under 12 – an affordable family outing, if I may say. With prices like these and the universal appeal of an outcast-turned-hero, the Plaza Theatre is expected to fill up with eager fans ready to root for their favorite ogre. Performances on Thursday through Saturday will begin at 7:00 PM, while Sunday's matinee will have curtains rising at 3:00 PM. The event location, Plaza Theatre, is situated conveniently at 521 W State Street in Garland, TX.
