Birth Place: New York, NY, USA
With music by Mary Rodgers and lyrics by Marshall Barer, ONCE UPON A MATTRESS is a comedic musical romp based on the fairy tale 'The Princess and the Pea.' The kingdom is in crisis: Queen Aggravain has decreed that no one may marry until her son, the sweet but hapless Prince Dauntless, weds first. And she has been sabotaging every princess who comes to court.
Once upon a time, in a cozy corner of Conway, a magical kingdom came to life onstage, and it’s exactly why I so love returning to Red Curtain Theatre. There is something truly special about the way this space invites audiences into its stories, creating an atmosphere where imagination flourishes and young performers shine.
