Saturday Full House - Football Championship and Matinee of Shrek

On Saturday, the Yarmouth High School Football team will be hosting the Southern Maine Championship Game, starting at 12:30 p.m. The football game will draw a large crowd, which will create a parking issue for many fans of both the game and the musical.

Yarmouth High School’s Playmakers will be performing their highly anticipated performance of Shrek: The Musical, with a matinee on Saturday at 2:00 p.m.  Because of the well-deserved reputation for excellence that the Playmakers have created through show the years, we expect large crowds for these events.

Parking
For both the 12:30 championship game and the 2:00 performance of Shrek, we will provide complimentary shuttle bus service from the I-295 Park & Ride located near Exit 15 and from Yarmouth Elementary School and Harrison Middle School.  The front parking lot at the High School will be reserved for attendees of Shrek, and we are making arrangements in-house to provide for our student-athletes and student-performers as well.


We encourage car-pooling, drop-offs, and alternative forms of transportation (walking, bicycles, etc.) as much as possible.
