Williamstown Musical Theatre Company is proud to present as part of our 2016 Junior Program SHREK JR running from the 5th to 21st August at the Williamstown Mechanics Institute Theatre.

It’s a “big bright beautiful world” for everyone’s favourite ogre in SHREK JR based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film. In a faraway kingdom, the green ogre Shrek finds his swamp invaded by banished fairytale misfits, runaways who’ve been cast off by Lord Farquaad, a tiny terror with big ambitions. When Shrek sets off with a wise-cracking donkey to confront Farquaad, he’s handed a task – if he rescues feisty Princess Fiona from the Dragon-guarded tower, his swamp will be returned to him. But, a fairy tale wouldn’t be complete without unexpected twists and turns along the way. Part romance and part twisted fairy tale, SHREK JR is an irreverently fun show for the whole family.

2016 concert postponed to 2017

The company has made the decision to postpone our concert until Saturday 25th February 2017 at 7.30pm due to an extension of building works at the Williamstown Town Hall, which will now not be completed until mid-2016.

It is unfortunate that we have had to do this but with the company’s intent to reschedule rather than cancel this event, we will be transferring all existing bookings to this new performance date and will re-issue updated tickets and confirmation emails accordingly. Should this not be suitable, please let us know as with this unforeseen change to plans, refunds are also available for any tickets purchased to date.

At WMTC we pride ourselves on our strong relationships and patron satisfaction – therefore we have made contact with all current ticket holders via email to confirm receipt of our notification and acknowledging the transfer of tickets to the new performance date.

You know what they say “The show must go on!” – if you have any further questions, please let us know.
