Buckle Up Theatre Presents… Tin Can
Galactic Bandits Lazzy and Kane are on the run. Low on fuel and supplies they’ll have to navigate a volatile galaxy in search for a better life.

Shrek Jr
Once upon a time, in a far away swamp, there lived an ogre named Shrek.
One day, Shrek finds his swamp invaded by banished fairytale misfits who have been cast off by Lord Farquaad, a tiny terror with big ambitions. When Shrek sets off with a wisecracking donkey to confront Farquaad, he’s handed a task – if he rescues feisty princess Fiona, his swamp will be righted. Shrek tries to win Fiona’s love and vanquish Lord Farquaad, but a fairytale wouldn’t be complete without a few twists and turns along the way!
