presents
ONCE UPON A MATTRESS
July 21, 22, 28, 29, 30*, & August 4, 5, 11, 12
If you though that you knew the story of The Princess and the Pea you may be in for a walloping surprise!!
Once Upon A Mattress tells the story with a twist. It seems that everyone in the kingdom wants Prince Dauntless (Joseph Saks) to marry, except his mother, Queen Aggravain (Theresa Benyo-Marzullo), who finds no princess suitable for her son. Dozens of girls have been tested and rejected. The problem is that the marriage law of the land states no one may wed until Dauntless marries! The ladies and knights of the court are becoming quite desperate....especially Lady Larkin (Laura Wilson) and Sir Henry (Stephen Noreck) who find themselves facing a "small" dilemma. With hope fading fast, Sir Harry begins searching for yet another princess!!
Harry finds Winnifred the Woebegone (Deana Stein) who comes from a swampy kingdom. Winnifred, or "Fred" as she likes to be called, arrives in court by swimming the castle moat rather than using the drawbridge. "Fred's" unconventional behavior gives the Queen the idea of using a test for sensitivity to eliminate her from the marriage sweepstakes.... a pea under the mattress!! Well, maybe twenty mattresses!!
Additional featured parts are adeptly handled by Irv Korman (King Sextimus), Fig Jankowski (the Jester), Jim Long (the Wizard), James Smith (Sir Studley), and
Jessi Hale as the Minstrel.
Rounding out the cast are: Jon Baley, Edward Bixenstine, Chris Bozeka, Erin Butcher, Laura Cordle, Amanda DeLong, Matthew Hemminger, Briana Rawls, Andrew White, Marisa Wintrow, and Torey Wooten.
Director Mark A. Zimmerman is excited to be doing his first play at WRP. He has worked as a director and actor in a number of community theatres including Weathervane Playhouse and Coach House. He is currently the theatre director at the nationally recognized arts program at Firestone High School.
Beth Ayers returns to the Barn as Musical Director. She previously directed Something Afoot here in the summer of 2004. Rachel Huffman as Choreographer, Donna Curfman as Costumer, Rebecca Salchak as Stage Manager, and Mary Siegel as Prop Designer make their first appearance at WRP. Resident Artist Designer Walt Kaminski again designs the set. Marie Dusini is the producer.
By turns hilarious, raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the familiar classic tale of royal courtship provides for some side splitting shenanigans. Chances are you will never look at fairy tales in quite the same way!
