Neighbors enjoyed a one-night-only production of “Shrek: the Musical” under the stars at Malverne High School on August 16. The musical, put together by Malverne Summer Theatre, was made possible by 6 weeks of hard work by cast and crew alike.
The troupe is made of elementary school students, current high school students, and Malverne alumni. What joins them all is a love of theatre, and a desire to put on a performance for their neighbors and loved ones to enjoy. “Shrek: the Musical” was chosen for its humor and its appeal to viewers of all ages — and, of course, its infectiously upbeat soundtrack. By the end of the performance, everyone in the audience was “a believer.”
