Session 1 – Shrek JR

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.

PARTICIPATION POLICY

Please do not register if you have any conflicts. Absences and/or “shadowing” (making up a missed rehearsal) are not permitted during two-week intensives. If your child misses a rehearsal (due to illness or otherwise), continuation in the program will be at the discretion of the Director. Performers who are late to a full run-through or dress rehearsal, for whatever reason, even for illness, are not permitted to perform in the show. Be sure to read our Standard Agreement before you register.

TUITION (CHOOSE ONE)

$1,195 – Early-bird Registration (Deadline Monday, March 2)
$2,324 – Actual cost tuition (Starting Tuesday, March 3)
$1,395 – Subsidized tuition

  • Did you know Random Farms is a non-profit and tuition only covers 60% of the cost of putting a child through the program?
  • Our subsidized tuition prices make participating affordable to a more diverse community. We ask families to choose the tuition tier they can afford on good faith; no application for the subsidized tuition is required.
  • Please consider paying the actual cost, and everything over the subsidized tuition amount will be a tax-deductible donation! This will help support our outreach efforts, which include providing scholarships, discounted tickets, and free performances to those in need.

*Each registrant is also responsible for a $10 processing fee at the time of registration.

SCHOLARSHIPS

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

COSTUMES

While Random Farms will provide the majority of each performer’s costume, participants are responsible for providing their own shoes/tights and undergarments. We will send out a detailed costume memo after the program begins.
