The musical was based on the Dreamworks Animation movie and the book by William Steig.
After 2 months of hard work and practice the Kane Area School District was able to pull off a fantastic play featuring Robert Rasey as Shrek, Jake Carnahan-Curcio as Donkey, and Hannah Gullifer as Fiona. While keeping many characters from the film they made their own amazing story line and ending. The stage crew was also an amazing part of the show. If it wasn’t for them the show couldn’t have met the expectations of the many people that attended. They were led by the amazing backstage mom, Mrs. Siranni. They succeeded in explaining more about the reason Shrek was the way he was and a gave a better look at Fiona's misery in the tower. The Kane Area Middle School Student Council recently held a Book Drive to benefit local libraries. For two weeks, students at the middle school brought in used books. The donations were split between Friends Memorial Library in Kane and the Mount Jewett Memorial Library. Both libraries will put the books into circulation, or they will sell them at their used book sales. The homeroom that donated the most books was awarded with a homeroom period in the gymnasium. Mrs. Michele Smith's homeroom donated a total of 307 books. The middle school students donated a total of 609 books Student Council picture: These students are some of the members who collected and sorted the books.
