Shrek: The Musical Coming to Port Theatres

Shrek comes to life in Port Washington this week as the Summer Theatre program's performance starts on Thursday.

"Opening like a storybook, our musical adventure begins with a large ogre named Shrek narrating the story of his seventh birthday," according to the city's website. "As he narrates, the storybook comes to life and we see Shrek’s parents telling the seven year old version of himself that it is time for him to venture out into the world on his own."

Performances start at 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday as well as a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday.  Tickets are $10 for adults — $9 advance — and $7 for seniors older than 60 and children younger than 10.
