DIRECTOR’S NOTE
And just like that… Shrek is cast!
First and foremost, THANK YOU to every single student who auditioned. Putting yourself out there takes courage, and we were truly blown away by the talent, preparation, energy, and heart you brought into the room.
Casting a show is never an easy task. There are so many factors that go into building a cast, and a role on a cast list is never a measure of your talent, your worth, or how proud we are of you. Every person who walked through our doors brought something unique to the process, and we are incredibly grateful that you trusted us with your audition and your callback. Whether your name is next to the role you hoped for, a role you never expected, or your very first role with us, we encourage you to come into this process with an open mind and a willingness to discover just how important your piece of this story can be.
Our show verse this time around is 1 Samuel 16:7, which states, “But the Lord said to Samuel, ‘Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” In Shrek, many characters are judged by what they look like or how different they seem on the outside. Shrek is seen as a scary ogre, Fiona feels like she has to hide part of who she is, and the fairytale creatures are rejected simply because they don’t fit someone else’s idea of “normal.” Shrek reminds us not to decide someone’s worth based on what we see at first glance. What matters most is a person’s character, kindness, courage, and heart, and sometimes the people who seem the most different are exactly the people God can use in incredible ways.
We have an incredible group of storytellers, and we cannot wait to see what you create together.
Thank you for auditioning. Thank you for trusting us. And thank you for continuing to be brave enough to step onstage and share your gifts.
Now let’s get to work, Duloc!
