Once Upon a Mattress

If you thought you knew the story of "The Princess and the Pea," you may be in for a surprise! Did you know, for instance, that Princess Winnifred actually swam the moat to reach Prince Dauntless the Drab? Or that Lady Larken's fear of being an old maid compelled her to get the honorable Sir Harry to the altar post haste? Or that, in fact, it wasn't the pea at all that caused the princess a sleepless night?

Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this spin on the familiar classic of royal courtship provides for some side-splitting shenanigans. Chances are you'll never look at fairy tales quite the same way again!

Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students and seniors, and are available at the door.
