The creative team is seeking male performers of all cultural backgrounds for these roles.
SHREK: 20s – 30s. An ogre. His imposing physical appearance disguises a warm heart. A lonely outsider with soul, strength, and wit. Values his peaceful solitary life in the swamp. Seeking actors with a powerful presence and strength with true Rock or R&B voices. Preferably a baritone.
DONKEY: 20s – 30s. A performer with a contemporary, urban edge and great humor. Joins Shrek on his journey to capture Princess Fiona. Seeking unique performers especially from slam poetry, comedy, Hip Hop worlds or clever actors with great comic skill.
Anyone, no matter how Far Far Away, can try and audition for these roles! If you or a friend think you have what it takes to play Shrek or Donkey, follow the directions below:
1. Make a video recording of yourself singing one song and copy it on to a DVD. (No lip-syncing please – must be live!) Please clearly label the DVD with your name and contact information.
2. Take a photograph of yourself and print it out, or if you have one, send a copy of your headshot.
3. Put together a resume or list of background experience and, VERY IMPORTANT, your contact information – address, phone and e-mail.
