Wakefield Repertory Youth Theatre is a six-week theater program devoted to teaching children about theater from on stage singing, dancing and acting to the behind the scenes magic of set design, lighting and costuming while putting together a spectacular musical theater production.
WRYT has a long and illustrious history of fabulous children’s theatre. Past productions of “Wizard of Oz,” “Seussical,” “Peter Pan,” “Annie” and “My Son Pinocchio” have begun to build a strong theatrical foundation for youths with an appreciation and interest in the arts. We have seen our costs soar to great heights and come together to create theatre- yet at the end of the day we are most proud of the family that WRYT has become and the legacy and impact that this program has on the community and it’s students.
“Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek….” And thus begins the tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescue. Throw in a short-tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you’ve got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero.” — Music Theatre International.
The production is directed by Adam Schuler, with music directed by Samantha Prindiville, choreographed by Sarah DiTonno, stage managed by Grace Dolan and production managed by Alison Butts.
