Once Upon a Mattress: Youth Edition Music by Mary RodgersBook by Jay Thompson, Dean Fuller and Marshall BarerLyrics by Marshall Barer Adaptation by Tom Briggs and Timothy Allen McDonaldOriginal Orchestration by Hershy Kay, Arthur Beck and Carroll Huxley Musical Preparation by John Higgins 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 Larken and Sir Harry to the altar? Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the classic tale The Princess and the Pea provides some side-splitting shenanigans. After all, a princess is a delicate thing. Show Dates: January 16, 17, 23 & 24 at 7:00pm & January 25 at 2:30 pm Auditions: November 18 & 19 at 6:00 pm
