As you've likely heard, the governor has issued a temporary closing of businesses like ours, effective as of 3 p.m. on March 16th and through March 30th. We will not be able to hold auditions for SHREK on March 29 & 30 as previously scheduled. This is a rapidly changing situation and as a completely volunteer organization we're working through it as best we can. At this time we don't know how extensively this will impact the remaining shows in our season. We continue to appreciate all of your patience and support as things change on a daily basis. We will continue to keep you updated on our schedule as things develop.

Throw in a short-tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you’ve got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero.
