CAST

Summer Waite Donkey

I have been doing theatre for 7 years and currently training at BSA where I’ve played Ms Myers in Fame The Musical and am currently rehearsing for Legally Blonde. I’ve really enjoyed playing Donkey because he’s unlike any other role I’ve had before! If I were a fairy tale character it would be Tinkerbell because even though she’s witty and diva-like, she’s always loyal to the people she loves.

Violet Hall Fiona (Wed) Mama Ogre

This is my 3rd school production having played Scaramouche in We Will Rock You last year. I am studying with Stagebox and am due to be performing at the Shaftesbury Theatre later this year. I am really excited to be performing in Shrek and if I were a fairytale character I’d be Cinderella so that I could talk to animals.

Lani Calladine Pinocchio

Pinocchio is my first principal role. I go to Diverse Performing Arts in Sawbridgeworth and I absolutely love it there. I have enjoyed meeting the amazing people in the cast and crew of Shrek and it has really helped me make some new friends. If I were a fairytale character I would be Little Red Riding Hood as I LOVE her red cloak and I want to eat cake.

Matei Hardware Papa Ogre

This is my first acting role and it won’t be my last! I used to do Stagecoach but quit due to Covid. I have enjoyed the time with friends and having fun during the Shrek production. If I were a fairytale character I would be would be Peter pan because I’m always walking into things!

Honey Askew Teenage Fiona

I am an associate at Spirit Young Performers Company in London and I have peformed at His Majesty’s Theatre in the West End! I have really enjoyed rehearsing with my friends and meeting and working with students from older years. If I were a fairytale character, I’d be Tinkerbell for her spirit of adventure, mischievousness, and belief in the magic of imagination.
