ONCE UPON A MATTRESS is the popular fairy tale of the princess and the pea transformed
into a delightful musical comedy. Prince Dauntless is in search of a bride, only to be thwarted
at every turn by his overbearing mother Queen Aggravain. When the wildly unconventional
Princess Winifred arrives in the kingdom and captures his heart, the Queen has a very special
test in mind. A funny and colorful production for the whole family filled with all the medieval
trappings including knights, a wizard, ladies-in-waiting, a castle and a strolling minstrel.
This is the show that made Carol Burnett a Broadway star.
Prince Dauntless, Karie Batzler as Queen Aggravain, Thomas Hostetter as King Sextimus,
Colleen Jones as Lady Larken, Ian Bowling as Sir Harry, Ben Taylor Cohen as the Minstrel,
Todd Boden as the Jester and Spurgeon Davis as the Wizard. Other cast members include
William Bentz, Amy Boeshore, Brian Boeshore, Liz Colpo, Lucy Davis, Laura Gingerich, Lydia
Hassell, ChrisTina Kay, Erin Kelly, Jack Krimmel, C. J. McConnell, Douglas Miller, Aaron Rodriguez,
Katie Rossiter, Collin Schoeller and Brian Valley. This production is directed by Kevin
Strawser with music direction by George Diehl and choreography by Trish Baillie.
