Acting Up is proud to announce our cast for ONCE UPON A MATTRESS
Before Anna was Frozen, Rapunzel got tangled, before Belle tamed the beast, there was….Princess Winnifred! Watch as Princess Winnifred swims the moat to reach Prince Dauntless the Drab! Will the Evil Queen keep these two lovebirds apart? Will a small pea hidden below twenty mattresses cause the Princess a sleepless night? Acting Up’s production of this Broadway favorite – which launched the career of a young Carol Burnett – will provide a fresh, contemporary spin on this popular tale. Perfect for the entire family…and you’ll never look at fairy tales quite the same way again.

Famed tenor Il Stupendo is scheduled to sing Othello at a gala fundraiser for the Cleveland Opera Company, but jealous lovers, an autograph-hunting bellboy, infatuated donors, an ambitious stage manager and a hilarious case of mistaken identity lead to incredible confusion. Can the cast muddle through to a happy ending? LEND ME A TENOR is by Ken Ludwig, author of Moon Over Buffalo, Crazy For You and Twentieth Century.
