Shrek Performance Delights Audience

Submitted by Dr. Brian Ellis

The high school musical cast and crew presented three shows of Shrek The Musical over the first weekend of March. Students delivered an outstanding performance under the direction of new co-directors, high school teachers Hannah Stayer and Jolene Kingston, and was led by actors including freshman Patrick Francis as Shrek, senior Skylar Volz as Fiona, sophomore Sophia Nicholson as Donkey, freshman Steven File as Lord Farquaad, and senior Sophia Matey as Dragon. The performance integrated new lighting and smoke effects to enhance the outstanding student-created sets. High school teacher Steve Whiteley tweeted: “Dear @YorkSuburbanHS students involved with Shrek.  You killed it. Best performances (and there have been many great ones) in my 25 years at YS. My hat is off to all of you.” His sentiments were echoed by nearly all in attendance! Congratulations to the cast and crew of Shrek!
