If you thought you knew the story of ‘The Princess and The Pea,’ you may be in for a If you thought you knew the story of ‘The Princess and The Pea,’ you may be in for a walloping surprise! Did you know, for instance, that Princess Winnifred actually swam the moat to reach Prince Dauntless the Drab? Or that Lady Larken’s love for Sir Harry provided a rather compelling reason that she reach the bridal altar post haste? 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 comeuppance provides for some side-splitting shenanigans. Chances are you’ll never look at fairy tales quite the same way again.

*Special Note: We will be kicking off our new Youth Program with an originally scripted short play, SIR HARRY, THE VORACIOUS written by Carrie Thurston and directed by Jess Bledsoe, to be performed at 7pm each night before the show. ONCE UPON A MATTRESS begins at 7:30pm.

Cincinnati Landmark Productions

Warsaw Federal Incline Theater

Directed & choreographed by Angela Kahle
Music directed by Damon Stevens

Cast: Van Ackerman as Man in Chair, Rick Kramer as Aldolpho, Lesley Hitch as The Drowsy Chaperone, Hope Pauly as Janet Van De Graaff, Drew Simendinger as Robert Martin, Nick Wasserbauer as George, Aaron Whitehead as Underling, Helen Anneliesa Raymond-Goers as Mrs. Tottendale, Mitch Ruth as Feldzieg, Merrie Drees as Kitty, Tyler Gau as Gangster, Christopher Carter as Gangster & Joy Rolland-Oba as Trix

THE DROWSY CHAPERONE is a loving send-up of the Jazz age musical featuring one show-stopping song and dance number after another. With the houselights down, a man in a chair appears on stage and puts on his favorite record: the cast recording of a fictitious 1928 musical, The Drowsy Chaperone. The show comes to life on stage as the man guides the audience through crazy plot and characters: two lovers on the eve of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate theatre producer, a not so bright hostess, two gangsters posing as pastry chefs, a misguided Don Juan and an intoxicated chaperone – all mixed up in an evening of madcap delight.
