If you thought you knew the story of ‘The Princess and The Pea,’ you may be in for a walloping surprise! Did you know that Princess Winnifred actually swam the moat to reach Prince Dauntless the Drab? Or that, in fact, it wasn’t the pea at all that caused the princess a sleepless night? Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the familiar classic of royal courtship and just deserts provides for some side-splitting shenanigans. Chances are you’ll never look at fairy tales quite the same way again. This production of “Once Upon a Mattress” features a cast of 30 students, with middle and high school performers.
