Shrek The Musical Cast

Xander Foote (Shrek)
I'm ogre-joyed to be playing Shrek! This is my 7th show at Ravenwood - you may have seen me as Travis in Footloose, John in Little Women, Eric in Matilda, Markley in Radium Girls, Ensemble in Cinderella, or Lysander in A Midsummer Night's Dream. Huge shout-out to Ms. Sumrall and Mrs. Hellmers for putting up with me all 4 years and to my mom and dad for forcing me to do the musical my freshman year!
Raleigh Risser (Fiona)
Raleigh is so excited to be playing the role of Princess Fiona in this amazing production of Shrek. Last semester she played Helena in "A Midsummer Night's Dream". Though this is Raleigh's fourth time taking part in Shrek: The Musical, she is ecstatic to be performing alongside her crazy talented peers. Raleigh would like to thank her friends, family and amazing directors for their endless support and encouragement these past four years and beyond. Enjoy the show!
Aidan Smith (Lord Farquaad)
In delving into the role of Lord Farquaad for "Shrek the Musical," Aidan plunged into a chasm of despair so profound that it threatened to swallow him whole. He hopes, with each calculated smirk and hollow laugh, to capture the crushing weight of Farquaad's unrelenting loneliness and unrequited longing. In his performance, Aidan will lay bare the shattered remnants of Farquaad's jaded heart. He hopes to leave audiences utterly devastated by his relentless onslaught of despair. Aidan thanks his bed and his mom, He's sorry.
Kingston Trice (Donkey)
Heya! Kingston is SO elated to be performing as everybody’s lovable chatterbox sidekick, Donkey, in the ridiculous show of Shrek The Musical. He has been apart of several productions at RHS. This is his first role as a talking equine, but final role in high school. Everyone involved has been hard at work to bring together this catchy ri-donk-ulous adaptation! He gives thanks to family, friends, and of course, Ms. Sumrall and Mrs. Hellmers! So, "Make A Move" to the concessions, and have fun. Animals like me have… INSTINCTS, and mine are telling me you'll enjoy this show!!
Faith Dengate (Dragon/Choreographer)
Welcome to Shrek the Musical! Faith is thrilled you are here! It’s her senior year and like her character she may just stay “Forever”! Also like her character she gets no sleep and often talks to Donkeys….what a weirdo. This is her 5th and last Ravenwood Production as well as, 3rd as a choreographer! You may have seen her previously as Charlotte (Cinderella) or over the summer as Baker’s Wife/Jack’s Mom (Into the Woods). She would like to thank her relentless skeletons and knights after the decades they have stayed in her keep. And you know her amazing parents, siblings, friends, and teachers too. Also, after the show please feel free to get a complimentary fist bump, high five, or hug. Don’t worry she won’t bite! Now please sit up, feel stressed, and don’t enjoy the show! (Jk it’s just Opposite Day).
Kathryn Porter (Pinocchio/Mice Tapper)
Kathryn is a senior this year and is thrilled to be apart of her 7th and final production at Ravenwood!

Michael is thrilled to be apart of Shrek the Musical as his second production at Ravenwood. You may know Michael from his previous role in Midsummer Night’s Dream as that one guard who jumped into the other guard’s arms, or from his middle school performance as Troy Bolton. Michael could not ask for a better role to showcase his natural talent of staying short and small despite his increasing age than Peter Pan. Additionally, if you see Michael after the show, say hi, give him a fist bump. If you’re nice enough he may even teach you how to fly. Enjoy the show!
