Curtain Call for SHREK

Well, this is it. My journey with SHREK: The Musical at NPS has finally reached its conclusion. What a bittersweet final performance. Not only did all three shows receive standing ovations, but they were also completely sold out. What an honor! 

As usual, the highlights of the performance:

The Dragon, Dragonettes, Knights and Donkey in  "Donkey Pot Pie." Notice the awesome purple lighting!

Me communicating with the backstage crew through my head set.

Donkey singing "Don't Let Me Go." He brought the house down!

Lord Farquaad proposing to Fiona

adjusting mic volumes during "Freak Flag"

Beautiful gifts from the cast! I was so touched.

I stayed after the performance to collect props, organize costumes, and get everything ready to be returned to RIYT or to Hendricken, where we rented  most of them from. The process required laying out all of the costumes that went together (i.e. Dulocians, Guards, fairy tale creatures, etc.), figuring out whether they belonged to Hendricken or to Ann, and packing them into labeled bins to be delivered to their respective homes.

A shot of me and my wonderful associate and mentor, Vanessa Miller! (Notice the set has already been taken down...only an hour after the curtain closed) 

Lord Farquaad is at it again...for the last time!

My sister and I after the show. We worked together on the sound board today!

Final bows

Gingy: "God bless us, everyone!"

 What an amazing way to end a spectacular production. I could not be more proud of these students. I want to thank my mentor, Ms. Miller, Jimmy, Chelsea, Lila, the parent volunteers, the crew, and the entire cast of SHREK for making this such an incredible experience for me! I am so happy that I chose SHREK as my senior project. I learned so much about producing a musical - from fundraising to tickets to microphones - and I feel prepared to take on any challenge theatre has in store for me. Congratulations to all on an unbeliavable performance! That's a wrap!
