Once Upon a Mattress

Join Ponderosa Players for the musical comedy, ONCE UPON A MATTRESS, an uproarious update of Hans Christian Andersen’s “Princess and the Pea" that will have you laughing all night long! ONCE UPON A MATTRESS centers around the story of Prince Dauntless, a prince whose impending marriage spoils the nuptials of the entire kingdom. His mother, Queen Aggravain, has forbidden anyone from marrying until she finds a worthy Princess for Dauntless. Of course, there is no one worthy enough to be found. Until, that is, Princess Winnifred the Woebegone splashes into the kingdom. Hailing from the swamps, “Fred” is far from the demure princesses of yore. Covered in seaweed and ready for love, she quickly captures Dauntless’s heart, much to the chagrin of Queen Aggravain. A parade of antics ensue, ending of course with Winnifred atop a tall stack of mattresses with a tiny pea underneath.
