Based on the DreamWorks Animation motion picture and the book by William Steig, the family-friendly musical comedy follows the adventures of an ogre named Shrek who sets off on a quest to save a princess from a dragon. However, it turns out that in order to ultimately succeed, Shrek must battle an even bigger obstacle: learning how to believe in himself and open his heart to others. Our 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Indianola Drama Club members are having fun and hard at work singing, acting, dancing and creating to give the audience a Shrektacular experience!
