A domesticated Shrek hatches a plan to recapture his mojo and discovers what life in Far Far Away land would have been like had he never existed in this final chapter of the popular animated film series. There used to be a time when the villagers would run in terror at the mere mention of the name Shrek, but these days the big green ogre is married to Princess Fiona and raising triplets. Maintaining your fierce public persona is no simple task when you’re juggling infants and changing diapers, so when Shrek realizes that nobody is afraid of him anymore he recruits mischief-maker Rumpelstiltskin to restore his once-mighty roar. Unfortunately for Shrek, that plan hits an unexpected hitch.

No Child. . . is a tale of disadvantaged students navigating through life, education and . . . their first play. It is filled with rich, moving characters you won’t soon forget! This play is a hilarious and touching master class not to be missed by anyone who cares about the state of our education system and how we might fix it!

Presenting a woman’s perspective will be Shundrice Tucker, starring in the 7:00 p.m. Saturday and 3:00 p.m. Sunday shows. The performances begin August 1 and last through August 23.
