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.

COVID births new tradition: Finnerty family plans live drive-by nativity

GENEVA â Brian Finnerty has a long affinity for nativity scenes. This year heâs taking that love to a new level.
Finnerty, along with some family and friends, is staging a live nativity scene from 5-8 p.m. Saturday outside his 2775 Carter Road home. Live animals, including a much ballyhooed camel, will be joining them.
Erecting a nativity scene has been a beloved Finnerty family Christmas tradition. Brian Finnerty, who owns Pedullaâs Wine and Liquor, recalled that the set his parents put up outside their Lafayette Avenue home when he was growing up actually came from Geneva on the Lake in its days as a monastery. The family would decorate the scene with lights and greens; one year, when a new roof was being put on the house, Finnerty arranged the creche in front of a covered Dumpster.

A Dickens of a performance
Jim Floyd has a rare treat for himself and audiences this holiday season. He not only gets to return to performing after a long pandemic-forced break, but he’s playing all the characters in Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” including the author himself. Floyd stars in the Players Centre for Performing Arts production of Greg Oliver Bodine’s one-man version of the classic story outdoors at the Bazaar at Apricot & Lime in Sarasota. He plays the author who has arrived for a reading from his novel about Ebenezer Scrooge and his experience one Christmas. But when Dickens’s luggage and his book don’t arrive, he ends up acting out the story for the audience, using whatever props and items of clothing he can to transform himself into ghosts, Bob Cratchit or Tiny Tim. It’s the first of three outdoor shows at the Bazaar planned by the Players Centre. “A Christmas Carol” runs through Dec. 20. Tickets are $20, $12.50 for students. 941-365-2494; theplayers.org/show/a-christmas-carol/
