Break a leg, and see you at auditions! 
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. Shrek presents a treasure trove of creative opportunities, including costumes, sets, puppets (there is a fire-breathing dragon after all) and more! Irreverently fun for the whole family, Shrek proves that beauty is truly in the eye of the ogre.

Project: Moses- From Prince to Prophet

Director's Vision: Our film will bring this timeless story to life with a fresh, modern sensibility. By using cutting-edge visual effects, we'll create stunning depictions of the plagues and the parting of the Red Sea, while maintaining focus on Moses' internal journey and the human drama at the heart of the Exodus story.

Logline A timid prince becomes the bold leader of a nation in this epic retelling of Moses' journey from privileged Egyptian royal to humble prophet, set against the backdrop of the Ten Plagues and the Exodus. Synopsis In ancient Egypt, Moses, a Hebrew raised as an Egyptian prince, struggles with his identity and purpose. After killing a man in a misguided attempt at justice, he flees to the desert. There, a divine encounter at a burning bush transforms him from a stuttering shepherd to God's chosen deliverer. Returning to Egypt, Moses confronts the prideful Pharaoh, portrayed as a charismatic leader with a god complex. As Moses gains confidence, Pharaoh's arrogance crumbles in the face of increasingly devastating plagues. The story culminates in the dramatic parting of the Red Sea, with Moses leading his people to freedom. Interwoven with this epic tale are intimate family dynamics: Moses' complex relationship with his siblings Aaron and Miriam, the challenges of uniting a fractured people, and the weight of leadership in the face of doubt and opposition. Unique Aspects Focus on Moses' character growth from timid prince to confident leader Strong emphasis on family dynamics and interpersonal conflicts Innovative use of AI-driven visual effects for spectacular scenes, allowing for high production value at a reduced cost Blend of intimate character moments with grand, biblical spectacle Target Audience Primary: Faith-based audiences, fans of historical epics Secondary: General audiences interested in character-driven dramas and spectacular visual effects
