Beauty is in the eye of the ogre in Shrek The Musical 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.

Once upon a time, in a far away swamp, there lived an ogre named Shrek.  One day, Shrek finds his swamp invaded by banished fairytale misfits who have been cast off by Lord Farquaad, a tiny terror with big ambitions. When Shrek sets off with a wisecracking donkey to confront Farquaad, he's handed a task — if he rescues feisty princess Fiona, his swamp will be righted. Shrek tries to win Fiona’s love and vanquish Lord Farquaad, but a fairytale wouldn't be complete without a few twists and turns along the way.

With abundant opportunities for imaginative sets and costumes, and a host of over-the-top roles for an expandable cast, there's a part for everyone in this dazzling adventure story.

Wilson Middle School Theatre has been under the direction of Ms. Katey Hallock since Fall 2017.

Our productions would not be possible without the incredible support of our fellow teachers, staff, and dedicated parents.

Thank you for supporting live theatre and championing our students to create, imagine, and perform!

Values and Objectives: At Wilson Middle, we are committed to making the theatre experience both educational and inspiring.  Our program encourages students to create, imagine, and perform by exploring every element involved in bringing a production to life. From acting, choreography, and music to the essential behind-the-scenes roles such as costumes, hair and makeup, set design and construction, lighting, sound, stage management, and running crew.

By engaging in these diverse roles, students gain a true understanding of the collaboration, creativity, and effort required to produce a theatrical performance. With this foundation, we strive to present shows that not only highlight our students’ talents, but also celebrate the teamwork and imagination behind the scenes.
