open_in_new zoom_out_map Show in original size

A couple of weeks ago, Nixa FFA students joined students from other area districts for a visit to the Springfield Livestock Marketing Center. Students participated in a real-world simulation of purchasing cattle with a set amount of money, toured the facility, learned how drones are changing agriculture, and watched a demonstration on how cuts of meat are graded.


The students walked away with a newfound appreciation for the agriculture industry and are already looking forward to returning to compete next year!

'Shrek the Musical'

๐ŸŽญ Nixa High School Theatre Presents: Shrek ๐Ÿ’š

๐ŸŽญ Showings: November 12 & 14 at 7 p.m., 15 at 2 p.m.

๐Ÿ“Œ Location: Aetos Center for the Performing Arts in the Meridian Title Performance Hall


Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film, Shrek The Musical is a Tony Award-winning fairy tale adventure, featuring all new songs from Jeanine Tesori (Thoroughly Modern Millie; Caroline, or Change) and a sidesplitting book by David Lindsay-Abaire. Shrek brings all the beloved characters you know from the film to life on stage and proves there's more to the story than meets the ears.


"Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek...." And thus begins the tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescue. Throw in a short-tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there's one on hand... and his name is Shrek.


Shrek presents a treasure trove of creative opportunities, including costumes, sets, puppets (there is a fire-breathing dragon after all) and more! Irreverently fun for the whole family, Shrek proves that beauty is truly in the eye of the ogre.


๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ Tickets: Adult $15 | Student & Senior Citizen $12
