Audition information for Pickerington Community Theatre’s summer production of “Shrek The Musical" (unpaid, non-union). ABOUT THE SHOW: "Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek...." And thus begins the tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescue. Throw in a short-tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there's one on hand... and his name is Shrek. Open auditions will be held Friday April 25 and Saturday April 26 auditions will be held Epiphany Lutheran Church located at 268 Hill Road N. Pickerington, OH 43147. If callbacks are needed, they will be held Sunday April 27 at Epiphany Lutheran Church.
