Auditions for the Pennsauken Youth Action Committee’s performance of “Shrek Jr. The Musical” will be held on May 19, 20 and 22 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Howard M. Phifer Middle School, 8201 Park Ave., Pennsauken. Adapted for children ages 7 to 14, “Shrek Jr. The Musical” is based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film.

In a faraway kingdom, the green ogre Shrek finds his swamp invaded by banished fairytale misfits, runaways who’ve been cast off by Lord Farquaad, a tiny terror with big ambitions. When Shrek sets off with a wise-cracking donkey to confront Farquaad, he’s handed a task – if he rescues feisty Princess Fiona from the Dragon-guarded tower, his swamp will be returned to him. But, a fairy tale wouldn’t be complete without unexpected twists and turns along the way.

The play is for children ages 7 to 14. To sign up for a time slot, or for more information, e-mail Elwood “Duke” Martz at emartz@twp.pennsauken.nj.us or call (856) 665-1000 x151. There will be a $50 audition/performance fee collected at the time of audition.
