Grandstreet Theatre is staging Shrek the Musical this season, bringing the DreamWorks fairy tale to its Helena stage in a production the theater is billing as suitable for all ages.
The show follows the story of Shrek, a reclusive ogre who sets out to reclaim his swamp and ends up accompanied by a fast-talking donkey and a cast of fairy tale outcasts. The stage version is based on the 2001 Oscar-winning animated film and has been a reliable draw for community and regional theaters since its Broadway run.
Grandstreet, located on the Walking Mall, is Helena's primary community theater and has operated for decades as a venue for both adult productions and youth programming. Specific performance dates and ticket information were not included in available event listings but are expected to be posted through Grandstreet's website and the Helena community events calendar.
Residents looking to get seats, particularly for family-oriented weekend performances, are advised to check availability early — Grandstreet productions in recent seasons have sold out multiple runs.
