Step into the enchanting world of Shrek the Musical Jr., a delightful adaptation of the beloved Oscar-winning DreamWorks film and Broadway sensation. This captivating production brings to life the twisted fairy tale with humor, heart, and toe-tapping music for audiences of all ages. Follow the lovable ogre, Shrek, as he embarks on a fantastical journey alongside a cast of whimsical characters to rescue Princess Fiona and protect his cherished home from the clutches of the villainous Lord Farquaad. This theatrical gem is a magical experience that celebrates the power of friendship and the triumph of the underdog.

Our vision is clear: at YPC, we believe in giving youth a voice in the creative process, fostering their leadership skills, and producing theater that exemplifies the highest standard of artistic excellence.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.

With an impressive three-decade track record, YPC has become synonymous with inclusivity, providing opportunities for children from all income levels, races, and cultures to come together and explore their potential, engage with thought-provoking theater, and cultivate meaningful connections. Each year, we proudly serve Twin Cities youth through a wide range of classes, camps, performances, and leadership training, making a lasting impact on their lives.
