YES Theater and Brookside Players present:

ONCE UPON A MATTRESS

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 King Sextimus The Silent was cursed and hasn’t spoken for over 20 years? Or that Queen Aggravain requires each potential bride to pass a series of almost impossible tests to prove that she is worthy of her son?  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.
