DeShaun Williams
as Donkey
DeShaun Williams will be taking on the role of Donkey in Shrek: The Musical! This is his Senior year here in BHS, making this show his final experience with Bison Theatre. Debuting in last year's Spring Musical, DeShaun has previously portrayed King Triton (The Little Mermaid) and Claude Frollo (The Hunchback of Notre Dame). Donkey has been a unique challenge for DeShaun to overcome, being the most extroverted role he’s done in comparison to the darker and more serious characters he’s played. In his free time, DeShaun enjoys writing stories, gaming, photography, and talking with his friends. He’s currently interested in pursuing Mechanical Engineering as he continues to ready himself for college and beyond. He hopes that all those who come to the show will be able to enjoy themselves and feel included in the story we are portraying. Enjoy!

Rachel Kantarovich
as Fiona
Rachel is currently a senior and she is thrilled to be playing Fiona in Shrek the Musical! Some past roles include: Esmeralda (The Hunchback of Notre Dame), Ursula (The Little Mermaid), Wednesday Addams (The Addams Family), Pearl Krabs (The Spongebob Musical), and Lucy (You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown). Rachel has been performing on stage for over a decade and, this fall, she will continue her journey at The Ohio State University, majoring in Dietetics & Nutrition with a minor in Musical Theatre. She would like to thank her directors for providing her with the space and tools to grow as both an actress and a person, her past musical theatre mentors for helping build her confidence, the cast and crew for being a second family since her sophomore year, and her friends and family for their unwavering support year after year. A special thanks to her grandma, who has always been her biggest fan. Te quiero mucho, Etti. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!
