Omaha Public Schools students present "Shrek the Musical" this week! Performances will take place at the Burke High Auditorium on June 28 and 29 at 7 p.m. and June 30 at 2 p.m. Here's a sneak peek at their rehearsal.

Transcript

We're working on Shrek the Musical currently. Certain nights slowed down a bit, shut in. Girls are delicate. I've been having to, like, get out of my comfort zone for this show a lot. And like, she's very outgoing. She's very crazy and loud and just, like, she doesn't care what people think. And I'm like the opposite of that. To put on a musical. Usually for us at the high school levels of two plus month, Yeah, like, thing commitment, We're doing it in 30 days. It's just a great way for all the theater. Is to connect as a district, you know, it's great to meet people who are interested in the same thing as you and be able to collaborate on something you're really passionate about with this, like we get to come here every day for four hours and do what we love to do, and we all want to be here and it's really special. The biggest struggle is trying to take a character that's so iconic and find the balance between portraying it in my own way, but in a way that audiences can connect with and recognize the same way it did when the movies first came out. We worked really hard. And this is for you wanna entertain you. So the more people become, the better. Very helpful to get to know people from other schools. Because you never know when you're going to run into them again. So having this connection as a cast with people who don't go to your school, people who may have never met before, it's really good because it helps branch out a lot. I think the arts are great for kids of all ages. It's something we're both very passionate about. It's a way that we learn how to interact with each other. It's how we learn to handle our emotions. It's how we learn how to be a part of the team. I always say I teach students how to be human beings, you know, how to be kind in the world. And I feel like this is. A great Ave. for that.
