In March 2023, this year’s Saint John Neumann High School Theater Production will be, “Shrek the Musical.” This year’s cast is made up of nineteen amazing, talented members. The cast consists of a mix of freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Students playing some of the main characters include Kaden Jenkins as Shrek, Giana Dipetro as Fiona, and Anna Alaimo as Donkey. Auditions were held from August 29 to September 2 and the anticipated cast list was revealed shortly after auditions on September 2. Previous plays that the SJN Theater Production has performed include “Legally Blonde,” “Into the Woods,” “Beauty and the Beast,” and “The Mousetrap.”

There is more to a play however, than the actors and actresses. The backstage crew also plays a significant part of the production. The head of the theater program, Mrs. Brewer, is currently looking for some backstage help. Any student interested in helping with hair, makeup, costumes, tech-lighting, sound, props, set building, or art please contact Mrs. Brewer at [email protected].

Good luck to SJN’s 2023 theater program! We hope to see most of the student body showing their support in March!
