Gwen Paul
as Dragon / Duloc Dancer
Gwen (8th Grade) is very excited to be a part of Shrek Jr. as Dragon. Gwen enjoyed performing in past roles such as Alana (The Little Mermaid) and Tweedle Dee (Alice in Wonderland). The production of The Little Mermaid was the first time she fell in love with theater. Outside of theater, Gwen spends most of her time either playing tennis, singing, or hanging out with her friends and family. She would like to thank her music teacher, Ms.Smith, for building her confidence in her singing ability and her family for supporting her throughout each of her shows. She would also like to give a special thanks to one of her biggest supporters, her driver to each practice, and her best friend: her sister Sophia.
