Once Upon a Mattress

Book by Jay Thompson, Marshall Barer & Dean Fuller
Music & Lyrics by Mary Rodgers & Marshall Barer
Directed by Lynn Fleming

You know the fairy tale: princess, pea, pile of mattresses. Here's what really happened. Prince Dauntless needs a bride, but his overbearing mother Queen Aggravain makes sure every princess fails her impossible tests. Then Princess Winnifred shows up from the swamps - loud, unpolished, and nothing like royalty is supposed to be. The Queen stacks twenty mattresses over one tiny pea, certain this swamp girl will sleep right through. She doesn't. The show that launched Carol Burnett, and still a royal good time.

Run Time - 2 hours and 15 minutes with one 10-minute intermission
