The Knoxville Area Community Theatre will present “Shrek The Musical” later this week. This performance includes actors and actresses from Knoxville and all across south-central Iowa joining together for a full production after last year’s fall production was cancelled due to the pandemic. Director Marty Adkins says to expect a deeper story than the original version.

“This is a retelling of the story we’ve all been introduced to, but it takes a fresh look at it. We get a backstory of Shrek and Fiona, about their childhood. We have a lot of emotional depth. There’s beautiful music that adds a lot of feeling and emotional depth.”

The performances will be held at the Knoxville Performing Arts Center November 4th, 5th and 6th at 7:00 p.m. and November 6th and 7th at 2:00 p.m. Click here to buy tickets. Hear from cast members on today’s Let’s Talk Knoxville.
