Winter Lab Production

Once upon a time, in a far away swamp, there lived an ogre named Shrek. One day, Shrek finds his swamp invaded by banished fairytale misfits who have been cast off by Lord Farquaad, a tiny terror with big ambitions. When Shrek sets off with a wisecracking donkey to confront Farquaad, he’s handed a task — if he rescues feisty princess Fiona, his swamp will be righted. Shrek tries to win Fiona’s love and vanquish Lord Farquaad, but a fairytale wouldn’t be complete without a few twists and turns along the way.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

SCHOLARSHIPS

A limited number of financial aid packages are available. Please view our Scholarship page for information and application.

PARTICIPATION POLICY

For sessions 2-9: Each child is permitted one absence and 2 shadows. Session 1 (role placement) does not count towards our attendance policy since no material is being taught. Additional absences or shadows due to illness will be permitted solely at the discretion of the director.
For session 10 and 11: Children are required to attend and participate in (and may not shadow, arrive late to, or leave early from) our two mandatory rehearsals. These rehearsals include the dress rehearsal (session 10), and the final dress/performance (session 11), all of which are marked as mandatory on the rehearsal schedule. Please make sure to double-check your child’s schedule to ensure their availability for these mandatory rehearsals.

REFUND POLICY

Random Farms is not offering refunds or credits unless we are unable to run the program or your group. In that case, credits and refunds will be available for the full value of the subsidized tuition.

WAIT LIST / PRIORITY REGISTRATION

There is no cost to join a waitlist. If a spot becomes available, we will email you and you can decide at that time if you would like to take it. If we are unable to get you off the waitlist, your child will receive priority registration for the next Lab production. That means that you will be given the opportunity to register before the program opens to the public. Please contact hello@randomfarms.com with questions related to the waitlist.

STANDARD AGREEMENT

Please be sure to read our Standard Agreement prior to registering.

COSTUMES

Each performer will be asked to provide their own shoes/tights and undergarments. We will send out a detailed costume memo after the program begins.
