Performances of “Shrek the Musical” will take place July 9-13, 2025 at Peoria Players Theatre. There is no fee to audition. Children who are cast will have a $100 registration fee. There is a discounted registration fee of $75 for each additional child from the same family. There are also a limited number of scholarships available for families who are in need of assistance paying the registration fee. Ask us for more details if you need financial assistance.

Shrek the Musical is a fun-filled, heartwarming stage adaptation of the hit DreamWorks animated film.
