DALLAS - April 9, 2015 - PRLog -- Dallas, Texas – Shrek The Musical, JR OPENS TONIGHT at the Courtyard Theater in Plano, TX.

To audiences out there, Shrek is a play like no other. It stands alone in its appeal to all audiences. But it is also a great first show for children and teens who will love the great songs, dancing and colorful costumes.

As part of Edge Dance & Performing Arts Center production, the company’s Junior Performance season, children and families will delight in seeing a benign green ogre and his sidekick Donkey save the land from an evil lord and rescue a lovely princess from a terrible fate.

The play is directed by Dallas-born Toya Nash, actor, recording artist and founder of Coach Your Craft, an acting and voice coaching company for children and adults located in Dallas.

Ms. Nash is excited about bringing “Shrek” to life on the Dallas stage. It provides audiences with fun and insightful characters from the successful movie and Broadway show and challenging roles for young actors who will learn something about themselves from the experience.

She chose to direct this play because of the positive messages it brings to young people. Ms. Nash explains, “In an encouraging way, it addresses how we sometimes hide our true selves from others for fear of rejection.” During the play, Shrek faces a moral dilemma of whether to change his life for his happiness or to maintain the status quo. She continues, “It’s a teachable moment for youth on how to embrace their differences while learning to be proud of who they are.”

What better place for Ms. Nash to practice her philosophy than in a theater as she directs an outing of the highly popular Broadway hit “Shrek, The Musical JR.?” Performances OPEN TONIGHT at The Courtyard Theater in downtown Plano and run through Saturday, April 11, 2015.
