RCHS Drama presents Once Upon A Mattress
Many moons ago in a far-off place, Queen Aggravain decreed no couples could marry until her son, Prince Dauntless, found a bride. Princesses came from far and wide to win the hand of the prince, but none could pass the impossible tests given to them by the Queen. That is, until the “shy” swamp princess, Winnifred the Woebegone, showed up. Would she be able to pass the Sensitivity Test, marry her prince and help Lady Larken and Sir Harry to the altar? Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the classic tale The Princess and the Pea provides some side-splitting shenanigans. For after all, a princess is a delicate thing. (Concord Theatricals)
​
Tickets: $20 (adults), $12 (students)
​
Tickets will go on sale at school in the atrium on Wednesday, February 19 and can also be purchased online. Student tickets are $12 and adult tickets are $20. All shows will take place at Burning Coal Theatre (224 Polk St).
