CCPA brings Shrek the Musical to the Dave Dunnet Community Theatre at Oak Bay High from May 6 to 14. Visit for in-person and streaming tickets.

Audiences will be capped at 75 per cent capacity and masks are strongly encouraged.

As has become tradition, the Saturday (May 7) matinee is a relaxed performance. It is open to everyone, but intended specifically to be sensitive to anyone who may find the usual theatre environment challenging. There is a more casual-than-usual approach to front-of-house etiquette and the performance is slightly adapted to make a more comfortable environment. The lights in the theatre remain on low throughout and audience members are free to leave and re-enter if necessary.
