"Once Upon a Mattress: Youth Edition" Needs Kids
Seeking kids ages 6-17 for "Once Upon a Mattress: Youth Edition". Please see the details below. About the project: 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. After all, a princess is a delicate thing. Additional info: No experience necessary. The auditions include three sections that all auditioners will take part in: -Vocal: Sing a short song acapella (without music) that you have prepared beforehand.
