❄️⛄️ CHOOKAS! ⛄️❄️

From everyone at Next Gen Theatre Collective, we’re wishing the entire cast, crew, band & creatives and everyone behind the scenes of Frozen a massive CHOOKAS for opening night! 🎭✨

After all the hard work, rehearsals, late nights and countless hours that go into bringing a show to life, it’s finally time to open up the gates! ❄️

We’re so excited to see what you’ve created and to watch another fantastic border production take the stage.

Go out there, have an absolute ball, because some shows are worth melting for! ☃️❤️

From one local theatre family to another, we’re cheering you on!

✨💚 FROM OUR SWAMP TO THE COMMUNITY 💚✨

As we officially wrap up our journey with Shrek the Musical, we’re incredibly proud to share one final piece of magic from our very first production…

Together, we have raised an incredible grand total of $2,570 for headspace Albury Wodonga! 💚

From our programs, foyer fundraising, green moustaches, push ups and the generosity of our audiences, cast, crew, families, friends and wider community, every contribution has helped us turn a few weeks of theatre into something that reaches far beyond the stage.

Our partnership with headspace Albury Wodonga was incredibly important to us. We wanted our first production to not only entertain, but to use the power of theatre to raise awareness and support youth mental health within our community.

To everyone who donated, bought a program, supported our fundraising efforts, shared our posts, bought a ticket, or simply showed up and cheered us on, thank you💚

$2,570 is more than a number. It represents a community coming together, believing in what theatre can do, and helping us make a difference.

From everyone at Next Gen Theatre Collective and Shrek the Musical…thank you for helping us make a difference!

Which local fundraiser should we partner with next? 👀

💚 AND THEY ALL LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER… 💚

And just like that, our very first chapter comes to an end. 🧅✨

On behalf of everyone at Next Gen Theatre Collective and Shrek the Musical, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped make this production possible - both on and off the stage.

Theatre takes a tribe. And that tribe extends far beyond the performers you see under the lights.

From our incredible creative and production teams, crew, musicians and volunteers, to the families, friends, supporters, sponsors and countless people who generously gave their time, skills, resources and encouragement. You all became part of our little swamp and we thank you for taking this leap with us. 💚

A production like this simply would not be possible without the people behind it. The late nights, early mornings, countless rehearsals, problem-solving, construction, sewing, organising, creating, encouraging and cheering from the sidelines have all helped build the world of Shrek the Musical, and we could not be prouder of what we created together.

Thank you to our community for embracing Next Gen Theatre Collective, supporting our first steps and believing in our vision to empower the next generation of performers, creatives and theatre-makers. To every person who bought a ticket, shared a post, donated, sponsored us, cheered from the audience or simply believed in what we were trying to build…

Thank you for being part of the story.

We hope you enjoyed the magic, the madness, the laughter and the love of our very first production.

Shrek may have found his happily ever after…but this is only the beginning for Next Gen Theatre Collective. 👀💚

We’ll be back.

Until then, OGRE AND OUT! 🧅💚✨

The cheers, the applause and the energy in the room made this moment one our cast and crew will remember for a very long time.

It is moments like this make every rehearsal, late night and backstage scramble worth it. 🧅✨

🏰 THE SWAMP HAS LANDED! 🏰

Bump in is officially underway, and the Albury Entertainment Centre is starting to look a whole lot more… ogre-ish! 👀

From hauling sets and props, building platforms, rigging lights, dressing the stage and transforming an empty theatre into the magical world of Shrek the Musical — there are SO many incredible people working behind the scenes to make the show come to life.

A huge OGRE-sized thank you to every cast and crew member who gave up their Father’s Day, weekend and spare time to get stuck in and help bring the swamp to the stage. 💪

The hard work is happening now… but soon, the lights will come up, the music will start, and all that bump-in magic will disappear into the world of Far Far Away! ✨

We’re getting closer by the minute…

💚 Happy Father’s Day from the swamp! 💚

Today we’re giving a HUGE shoutout to all the dads out there, especially the many incredible fathers who spent their Father’s Day helping us bump in to the theatre! 🛠️🐸

While most dads were kicking back, enjoying a well-deserved day off, ours were lifting, building, carrying, fixing and getting the Shrek magic ready to come to life on stage. 👏

We’re incredibly grateful for every hour, every helping hand and every “where do you want this?” that has helped get us one step closer to opening night!

To all the theatre dads, cast dads, crew dads and supportive dads, thank you! You’re all absolute ogre-achievers. 💚

Happy Father’s Day from all of us at Next Gen Theatre Collective! 🐸✨
