Casting Teen Actors for "Once Upon a Mattress"
Auditions are open to actors aged 14 or older for "Once Upon a Mattress". Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. 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. For after all, a princess is a delicate thing." Additional info: Performances will be held August 12-15. Rehearsals will begin with a readthrough on May 24.
