Join us in June/July for...

We invite you to a live performance in Town Center of Shrek Jr. the Musical. Beauty is in the eye of the ogre in Shrek Jr., based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film and fantastic Broadway musical.  It's a "big bright beautiful world" as everyone's favorite ogre, Shrek, leads a cast of fairytale misfits on an adventure to rescue a princess and find true acceptance.  Part romance and part twisted fairy tale, Shrek Jr. is an irreverently fun show with a powerful message for the whole family.

Shrek Jr. is the second youth Mainstage production produced by SALT Performing Arts and the first professional all-youth production whereby the performers are all paid.  Over 100 talented young performers auditioned for the 25 slots.  The cast is made up of both SALT veterans and newbies; all young actors from Chester Springs and the surrounding suburbs of Chester County. 

Located in the Eagleview Town Center park, be sure to bring blankets and chairs along with a canned good for your “ticket” in.

Performances will take place on the following dates:

 Saturday, June 30th at 2pm

Sunday, July 1st at 1pm & 4pm

Produced by Lauren McComas

Directed by Chelsea Barnett
