An ogre sings outdoors in ‘Shrek’ “Shrek, the Musical,” the stage version of the hit animated film, is usually produced with a cast of roughly 30 playing everyone from the green ogre named Shrek to dozens of fairy tale characters. All of them will be on hand, but in a different way in a new outdoor production presented by the Dingbat Theatre Project. All the actors play multiple characters and manipulate a variety of puppets. It is staged by founder Luke Manual McFatrich (he also plays Dragon) and is choreographed by Brian Finnerty (who also plays Lord Farquaad). Cory Woomert plays Shrek, Alyssa Goudy is Princess Fiona and Derric Gobourne Jr. is Donkey. The cast also includes Noelia Altamirano, Amanda Heisey and Jamie Molina. Performances are outdoors at the Bazaar on Apricot and Lime, 821 Apricot Ave., Sarasota, at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and May 13-15. Tickets are $25 or $50 for blanket seating for up to four people. For more information: dingbattheatre.org

'Shrek' produced outdoors by new Dingbat Theatre Project in Sarasota

“I’ve always loved to self-produce. I had a company of my own in college at Mississippi State University, focused on children’s theater, and I knew that I would want to self-produce again,” McFatrich said. He first talked about starting a company a couple of years ago, and once the pandemic hit, “I thought if the world doesn’t come back to normal by October, I’ll pursue this and try to do something small and safe.” That something was the two-person show “Brian and Luke’s Amazing Terrific Jaw-Dropping Fantastical Spectacular Tremendous Excessive Live Holiday Jamboree,” in which McFatrich starred outdoors with actor, teacher, dancer, director and choreographer Brian Finnerty.
