Queen Evermean decides it's time for her son, Prince Wellington, to get married. She creates a reality game show called the "Princess Test" to find the Prince the "perfect" bride. But the Prince doesn't want to marry someone picked for him from a game show, he wants to marry for love. He escapes to the royal forest where he comes face to face with the girl he knows is the one. But will the Queen allow them to marry? Will she have to pass the Princess Test? Will a tiny pea and a stack of mattresses stand between her and true love? THE PRINCESS AND THE PEA runs one hour and all performances are followed by a question & answer session with the cast.
