Campbellsville University to present ‘Shrek the Musical’ June 30-July 4
CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. – Campbellsville University’s Theater Department, Town Hall Productions and Sunlit Moments Photography will present “Shrek the Musical” June 30-July 4 in Russ Mobley Theater, 114 University Drive, Campbellsville.

A synopsis of the play, according to Broadway.com, follows:
“Set in a mythical “once upon a time” sort of land, Shrek the Musical is the story of a hulking green ogre who, after being mocked and feared his entire life by anything that crosses his path, retreats to an ugly green swamp to exist in happy isolation.
“Suddenly, a gang of homeless fairy-tale characters (Pinocchio, Cinderella, the Three Pigs, you name it) raid his sanctuary, saying they’ve been evicted by the vertically challenged Lord Farquaad.
“So Shrek strikes a deal: I’ll get your homes back, if you give me my home back! But when Shrek and Farquaad meet, the Lord strikes a deal of his own: He’ll give the fairy-tale characters their homes back, if Shrek rescues Princess Fiona. Shrek obliges, yet finds something appealing–something strange and different–about this pretty princess. He likes her. A lot. But why does she always run off when the sun sets.”

Reviews for "Witchcraft and Spellcasting in Campbellsville, KY"
1. John - 1 star - I attended the Witchcraft Workshop in Campbellsville, KY and was extremely disappointed. The whole experience felt like a scam. The instructors seemed unprepared and lacked knowledge about witchcraft. The workshop was advertised as a hands-on learning experience, but all we did was listen to boring lectures without any practical exercises. I regret wasting my time and money on this event and would not recommend it to anyone interested in learning about witchcraft.
2. Sarah - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the Witchcraft Workshop in Campbellsville, but it fell short of my expectations. The venue was cramped and poorly organized, making it difficult to fully engage in the activities. The instructors seemed disinterested and rushed through the materials. There was also a lack of diversity in the teachings, focusing only on certain aspects of witchcraft while neglecting others. Overall, it felt like a half-hearted attempt at hosting a workshop, and I left feeling unsatisfied with the whole experience.
3. Emily - 1 star - The Witchcraft Workshop in Campbellsville, KY was a total waste of time and money. The instructors were not knowledgeable or experienced in witchcraft, and it felt like they were just regurgitating information they found online without any real understanding. The workshop lacked structure, and there was no clear progression in the teachings. I would strongly advise against attending this workshop if you're looking for a genuine and insightful experience in witchcraft. Save your money for something better.
