Once upon a time, in a faraway swamp, there lived an ogre named Shrek. When he finds his swamp invaded by banished fairytale misfits who have been cast off by Lord Farquaad, a tiny terror with big ambitions, Shrek sets off with a wisecracking donkey to confront him. But when he challenges Farquaad, he is then handed a task — if he rescues feisty princess Fiona, his swamp will be righted.

Part romance and part twisted fairy tale, Shrek KIDS is an irreverently fun show with a powerful message for the whole family. A preview of Shrek KIDS debuted at the 2025 Junior Theatre Festival in Atlanta, GA and at an additional showcase performance at Junior Theatre Festival West in Sacramento, CA.
