CNS presents Once Upon a Mattress March 21 and 22

A hysterical musical adaptation of the 1835 Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, “The Princess and the Pea” with music by Mary Rodgers, lyrics by Marshall Barer, and book by Jay Thompson, Dean Fuller, and Marshall Barer.

Director: Danielle Rausa
Technical Director: John Nadler
Choreography and Pit Director: Karen Seamans

The kingdom is an unhappy one. King Sextimus has been struck silent by a witch's curse and is condemned not to speak again until "the mouse devours the hawk!" Queen Agravaine has assumed power and she talks enough for the whole Royal household. She has decreed that no one in the Kingdom may wed until Prince Dauntless is married to a true princess of Royal blood. So far the Queen has tested the eligibility of twelve applicants and each has failed the almost impossible tests the Queen has devised. Can Princess Winnifred steal the Prince’s heart and pass the Royal test?  Will King Sextimus ever speak again? Will Sir Harry see Lady Larken banished forever?  Come join the fun and find out!

March 21 at 7:00 pm. 
March 22 at 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm
