ONCE UPON A MATTRESS

Sept. 15,16,22,23,24,29,30, Oct. 1
Music by Mary Rodgers;
Book by Jay Thompson, Dean Fuller and Marshall Barer
Lyrics by Marshall Barer
Directed by Kelly Fitzgerald

Many moons ago in a far-off place, Queen Aggravain decreed no couples could marry until her son, Prince Dauntless, found a bride. Princesses came from far and wide to win the hand of the prince, but none could pass the impossible tests given to them by the Queen. That is, until the “shy” swamp princess, Winnifred the Woebegone, showed up. Would she be able to pass the Sensitivity Test, marry her prince and help Lady Larkin and Sir Harry to the altar? This rollicking spin on the classic tale The Princess and the Pea provides some side-splitting shenanigans. For after all, a princess is a delicate thing!

Featuring:
Christa Wisneski, Sean Murray, Pete Phillips, Julie Kremm, Barb Hannevig, Bob Goretski, Tom Pitt, Kim Smith Knipe, Kim Cafarella, Tom Yenchick, Rosie Allevap, Madison Rich, Abigail Morgan, Pandora Beatrix, Todd Hatton
