The Boys and Girls Club of McAllen, Texas, presents Shrek The Musical Jr. They’ll be putting this play on at the McAllen Performing Arts Center on Friday, August 2nd. It’s a very ambitious project by the local Boys and Girls Club!
The play features all sorts of funny moments, a staple of the story that many people have grown to love!

No spoilers will be directly provided! If you haven’t seen this play before, you’ll have to head to the McAllen Performing Arts Center on Friday, August 2nd, to see what takes place. Having said this, the original script of the play is largely based on the first Shrek movie. That’s a pretty big spoiler, but it is one of the things that people wonder about before they head to any theater to watch this play! Dreamworks has done a great job of allowing organizations like the Boys and Girls Club here in McAllen adapt the story. They obviously allow this without charging major fees to the theater companies that are looking to put on this show. That’s why the play has become a favorite of schools and drama clubs across the nation.
Another reality is that this is a story that people already like and enjoy. On this night in McAllen, it’s going to allow the kids of the Boys and Girls Club to show their comedic talents! Nothing against Shakespeare or any other playwriters out there. It just seems easier to rally support for a group of youngsters who are going to be putting on a Shrek play than it would be to see Romeo and Juliet for the millionth time! All of the popular characters from the movie are going to be represented on the stage. Donkey and Princess Fiona are two of the leading roles. There are also a ton of different fairy tale characters that are getting ready to descend into the Ogre’s swamp! Shrek’s not going to be too happy about that. This is exactly, though, when the fun will begin.
Currently, there are seats available on three different levels of the McAllen Performing Arts Center. Obviously, the proceeds of the ticket sales will go to the Boys and Girls Club of McAllen. Regardless of where you want to watch the show from, know that you’ll be doing a good deed while having some fun with the family. These youngsters can surprise you as well! There’s plenty of local talent that’s going to make your night even more worthwhile. Click the get tickets button and get ready to see Shrek Jr. The Musical live!
