Preview of 'G2K Once Upon a Mattress' in Hamden

Naugatuck residents Nicole Bregman and Destiny Butler will be performing in a children's production of Once Upon a Mattress April 25, 27, and 28 with the Square Foot Theatre. Nicole is playing the Minstrel and Destiny is Lady Rowena.

If you thought you knew the story of 'The Princess and The Pea,' you may be in for a walloping surprise! Did you know, for instance, that Princess Winnifred actually swam the moat to reach Prince Dauntless the Drab? Or that it may not have been the pea at all that caused the princess a sleepless night? Carried on a wave of beguiling songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the familiar classic of royal courtship and comeuppance provides for some side-splitting shenanigans. Chances are, you'll never look at fairy tales quite the same way again.

G2K Once Upon a Mattress is presented at The Square Foot Theatre, sponsored by The Jamie A. Hulley Arts Foundation.  www.jamiehulleyartsfund.org
