Shrek the Musical, Jr.

  • New Day USA Center for Leadership (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film, Shrek The Musical is a Tony Award-winning fairy tale adventure, featuring all new songs from Jeanine Tesori (Thoroughly Modern Millie; Caroline, or Change) and a sidesplitting book by David Lindsay-Abaire. Shrek brings all the beloved characters you know from the film to life on stage and proves there's more to the story than meets the ears.

"Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek...." And thus begins the tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescue. Throw in a short-tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there's one on hand... and his name is Shrek.

Irreverently fun for the whole family, Shrek proves that beauty is truly in the eye of the ogre.

The performances, put on by Georgia Military College Prep School Performing Arts, will take place at the NewDay USA Center for Leadership at GMC. See below for showtimes.

 Thursday, January 23, 2025 - 7:00 p.m.

The Jazz Legacy Project: Sarah Vaughan, The Divine One at Festival Hall

Dubbed "The Divine One", Sarah Vaughan got her start opening up for Ella Fitzgerald and was known for hits such as "Black Coffee" and "Tenderly."

Featuring vocalist Maria Howell, who made her film debut as a Church Choir Soloist in "The Color Purple" and later played important roles in "The Blind Side", "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire", and "Hidden Figures" in addition to many television roles.

Each program is roughly 90 minutes, with the goal of bringing the casual jazz listener inside the minds and music of the most influential and interesting American musicians of all time. The life and music of the artist/composer is entertainingly narrated by the drummer, Mr. Justin Varnes, and seminal jazz pieces are played to illuminate the narration. These are NOT tribute concerts in the sense that the musicians are trying to recreate the original performances, but instead to celebrate the essence and accomplishments of the particular artist.
