SHREK THE MUSICAL

The annual winter musical is alive and well at Blue Ridge School thanks to the efforts of our dedicated drama faculty and incredibly talented student actors.

This year’s production of Shrek the Musical, an adaptation of the popular film franchise, wowed audiences for three performances in February. Director Anna Grey Hogan led the effort, along with Assistant Director Alexander Keevil, Music Director Mike Vinson, Master Carpenter Jamie Bourland, and Set Painter Dave Welty. Kasey Chadwick ’23 took on the title role as well as student assistant director duties.

Theatrical productions give our students the chance to express themselves in new and exciting ways, as well as showcase their talents for family and friends. Mark your calendar for February 2024 and make plans to attend next year’s production.

I am looking forward to renewing this success and working with our talented team once again.”
