Think fairy tales are sweet and simple? Think again.

In the kingdom of Once Upon a Mattress, things are totally upside down. The king can’t talk (literally—he’s under a curse), the queen is a total control freak, and Prince Dauntless isn’t allowed to marry unless a princess passes his mom’s ridiculous “tests.” To make things worse, nobody else in the kingdom is allowed to get married until he does—which is a major problem for Sir Harry and Lady Larken, who have a pretty big secret of their own. 👀

Enter Princess Winnifred: loud, bold, and nothing like the delicate princess the queen had in mind. She’s quirky, funny, and just might be the perfect match for Dauntless—if she can survive Queen Aggravain’s impossible challenges.

With laugh-out-loud comedy, over-the-top characters, and plenty of big musical numbers, Once Upon a Mattress is a fairy tale flipped on its head, with outrageous royals, hilarious sidekicks, and even a princess who isn’t afraid to climb the castle walls.

This production features a cast of high school students, is appropriate for all ages, and runs approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes, with an intermission.
