ONCE UPON A MATTRESS Runs July 20-22

ECT_Once upon a MattressONCE UPON A MATTRESS
Encore Community Theatre
July 20-22
Miami University Hamilton Parrish Auditorium

Cast: Alexandra Lander as Princess Winnifred, Lori Webman as Queen Agravain, Greg Henderson as King Sextimus, Josh Stothfang as Minstral, Clancey Butts as Prince Dauntless, Sam Domms as Sir Harry, Andrew Shamblin as The Wizard, Kait White-Ross as Lady Larken, Cameron Deville as Lady Rowena, Michael Wright as Jester, Hannah Portmann as Lady Lucille, Oliva Burkart as Sir Luce, Len Martin as Lady Merrill, Gabe Gardner as Sir Studley, Amelia Allen as Princess #12 & Catie Jo Carroll as Lady Mabelle
Ensemble: Samantha Hacker, Mackenzie Cunningham, Mary Kimble, Mercedes Petry, Meghan Cromer, Symone Garner, Aba Mandy, Malena Smith, Guys Perdikakis, Emily Cebulskie, Kristina Studdart, Rachel Grooms, Olivia Erb, Liz Lindon, Jennah Blair, Anna Helcher & Hanna Rose

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.

  • Thu-Fri, July 20-21 at 7pm
  • Sat, July 22 at 2pm & 7pm
