Starting: 8:00 PM
The animated sequel Shrek 2 screens outdoors at SoundScape Park as part of the SoundScape Cinema Series.
SoundScape Cinema Series: Shrek 2 takes place Wednesday, April 1. Released in 2004 and directed by Conrad Vernon, the film follows Shrek and Fiona as they travel to the kingdom of Far Far Away to meet Fiona’s parents, who are unprepared for their daughter’s transformed life. The visit sets off a series of clashes around appearance, expectation and royal tradition.
The sequel expands the original film’s fairy-tale universe with new characters and denser cultural references, combining fantasy tropes with contemporary humor. Featuring voice performances by Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz and Eddie Murphy, the film is also noted for its soundtrack-driven storytelling and layered jokes that resonate with both younger audiences and adults.
The screening begins at 8 p.m. and is free with no ticket required. Guests are encouraged to bring blankets or lawn chairs for seating on the lawn and enjoy the film on the New World Center’s large-scale outdoor projection wall.
