HOLMER GREEN PLAYERS SHOWS

OUR NEXT PRODUCTIONS - MAY & JULY 2024

Beauty is in the eye of the ogre in Shrek The Musical JR., based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film and fantastic Broadway musical.  It's a "big bright beautiful world" as everyone's favorite ogre, Shrek, leads a cast of fairytale misfits on an adventure to rescue a princess and find true acceptance.  Part romance and part twisted fairy tale, Shrek JR. is an irreverently fun show with a powerful message for the whole family.

Once upon a time, in a far away swamp, there lived an ogre named Shrek.  One day, Shrek finds his swamp invaded by banished fairytale misfits who have been cast off by Lord Farquaad, a tiny terror with big ambitions. When Shrek sets off with a wisecracking donkey to confront Farquaad, he's handed a task — if he rescues feisty princess Fiona, his swamp will be righted. Shrek tries to win Fiona’s love and vanquish Lord Farquaad, but a fairytale wouldn't be complete without a few twists and turns along the way.

Performed by our Junior group (8-16-year-olds), Shrek JR, our next show will include all the elements which make the Players shows so popular - great sets, wonderful special effects PLUS a licenced bar. The performances will take place at 7:30pm on Thursday to Saturday, 2nd-4th May 2024 with tickets on sale on 9th March (24).

The Addams Family

Our adult group will be performing The Addams Family from Wednesday to Saturday 17th to 20th July. This musical is based on the 1960s black comedy about a family with macabre interests and supernatural abilities. The TV series was itself inspired by Charles Addams cartoons in the New Yorker magazine. The TV series was followed in the 1990s by a three-film series.

The storyline centres around Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, who has grown up and now has a shocking secret that only Gomez knows; she’s fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family! Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before — keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents. All the usual clan are present - Uncle Fester, Lurch, Pugsley et al.

Tickets go on sale on Saturday 1st June 2024.
