Immediate Release: Warsaw Theatre’s Shrek The Musical Selected for Main Stage at International Thesp
WARSAW, IN - Warsaw Community Schools (WCS) is thrilled to share that Warsaw Theatre’s high school production of Shrek The Musical has been selected to perform on the Main Stage at the International Thespian Festival this summer.
Out of schools across the country, only 12 productions were selected for Main Stage performance. This marks the second time in recent years Warsaw Theatre has earned this distinction. Warsaw Theatre previously performed on the national stage in 2024 with My Heart Says Go!
The cast and crew for Shrek The Musical includes 36 student thespians, whose months of rehearsals, technical preparation and artistic collaboration led to this national recognition.
The International Thespian Festival will be held June 21–26, 2026 on the campus of Indiana University Bloomington, where student performers from across the United States and around the world gather for workshops, performances and theatre education experiences.
Before heading to the national stage, the community will have one more chance to experience the student production as Warsaw Theatre presents an encore performance of Shrek The Musical on June 17 at 7:00 PM at the Warsaw Performing Arts Center.
More information about the festival can be found through the International Thespian Festival.
