Today let’s meet our King & Queen and our Mama & Papa Ogres! 👑 👹

What has been your favorite part of rehearsal so far?

John “My favorite part thus far has been the development of the guard scenes, and discovering how much fun these characters are going to be! And everyone - cast and production team - has been excellent to work with!”

Brielle “My favorite part of rehearsal so far has been the immediate feeling of community! Everyone has been so friendly and helpful. It’s been a little over two years since I’ve acted in a show, and the immediate bonds that have begun to form are just incredible. There’s no feeling quite like the family you make within a cast, and just knowing that I have so many amazing people that I can lean on and trust in is a breath of fresh air. With this beautiful cast of people, there’s never a lonely moment!”

Janene “My favorite part of rehearsal so far has been getting to know my fellow cast mates and production staff. There are a handful of teachers from around the Twin Cities and it’s fun hearing their stories. I also love that we are all here to make something magical together. Seeing so many familiar faces is an added bonus!”

This week meet Donkey, Farquaad and Dragon! 🫏 🏰 🐉

What are you most looking forward to with this production?

Luis “I’m most looking forward to work with FCT for the first time, meet all the new people I’ve never worked with and do comedy!”

Scott “I’m most looking forward to my costume! Between the iconic hairdo, silly hat, and tiny legs, I’m going to become insufferable once I get everything on. Look out, Duloc!”

Kayleigh “I am looking forward to being unapologetically LOUD!!! I’m so excited to play the Dragon because I see so much of myself in her! Maybe not the fire breathing & impulsive obsessive tendencies… but in the way she incinerates people who interrupt her beauty rest. Unsure what that says about me, but I definitely feel validated! As a production, I am so excited to see so many different people from so many different backgrounds invest their time & energy into a show that is just an absolute blast. Nothing brings community together like love & acceptance, and that’s what this musical is all about. & I’m absolutely obliged to say I’m ecstatic to meet our Donkey!❤️”

Abbey - “I am most looking forward to FINALLY doing Shrek the musical! After the waiting, the waiting, The Waiting, THE WAITING... And 8 auditions and one callback I get to play one of my bucket list roles! Beyond being able to work with the amazing production team, I am so excited to see what Waldo does with the set! He never disappoints!
