'Once Upon A Mattress' Presented by The Ross Ragland Theater

Description

It's that time of year again! Opening night for our Summer Community Production at the Ragland is right around the corner! Directed by Dan & Faye Crenshaw, Once Upon a Mattress is a musical comedy with music by Mary Rodgers, lyrics by Marshall Barer, and book by Jay Thompson, Dean Fuller, and Marshall Barer. It opened off-Broadway in May 1959, and then moved to Broadway. The play was written as an adaptation of the 1835 Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale “The Princess and the Pea”. 

A fictional medieval kingdom is ruled by the devious Queen Aggravain and the mute King Sextimus. An unjust law has been levied by Queen Aggravain: "Throughout the land no one may wed, 'till Dauntless shares his wedding bed." However, every petitioning princess is sent away after failing unfair tests devised by the Queen. It seems that no one is good enough to marry Prince Dauntless! 

Good fun for families and people of all ages!
