PRINCESS BRIDESMAID Opens March 29 at Desert Star Playhouse

What happens when a handsome prince is betrothed to a beautiful princess but falls in love with her bridesmaid? An all new Desert Star comedy! The Princess Bridesmaid opens March 29th at Desert Star Playhouse and creates a musical parody of one of Hollywood's classic films.

According to Scott Holman, Desert Star's Artistic Director, "Every time we make a 'Princess Bride' reference in one of our shows, the audience erupts with laughter. So it was a no-brainer to give the Desert Star treatment to this beloved family classic."

In the story, Prince Christopher The Robin (CTR for short), is betrothed to Snapdragon, a princess from a far away kingdom. But when they meet, Christopher discovers that beneath Snapdragon's beauty lies a heart of lead. Then a chance encounter with Snapdragon's bridesmaid, the Lady Edelweiss, leads the prince to believe he's found his true love. After Edelweiss is kidnapped by mistake, Christopher wants to save her, but Snapdragon and her father, the evil King Heffalump the Weasel, are determined the wedding shall proceed on time. The Princess Bridesmaid must escape her captors, stop the wedding, and rescue her true love from certain death!

Written by Ed Farnsworth and directed by Scott Holman, The Princess Bridesmaid runs March 29 thru June 9, 2012. The evening also includes one of Desert Star's signature musical olios following the show. The "Southern Nights" olio will feature a mix of classic Country, Dixieland, and traditional Southern music, along with more Desert Star-style comedy.

Food is available from an á la carte menu and is served right at your table. The menu includes gourmet hamburgers and pizza, fresh wraps, and scrumptious desserts.
