Shrek, The Musical, Jr! speaks a beautiful message in its songs, “It’s a Big, Bright, Beautiful

World,” and “Let Your Freak Flag Fly!” In today’s world of bullying being a topic of conversation, this musical addresses that topic and celebrates characters because they feel they are somehow different. The students at SJC want to let everyone know that’s it’s okay to feel like you are different sometimes! It’s normal and all should welcome that feeling!

Don't miss this beautiful story of acceptance and love presented at St. John of the Cross Parish School, March 1 and 2 at 7 p.m and March 3 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased by calling 708-246-4454 or they can be purchased at the door.
