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 Larkin and Sir Harry to the altar? This musical, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, is a spin on the classic tale The Princess and the Pea and provides some side-splitting shenanigans. After all, a princess is a delicate thing.

Once Upon a Mattress: Youth Edition

Conejo Players Theatre

There’s trouble in River City! When smooth-talking, con man Harold Hill arrives in tight knit, small town Iowa, he expects to swindle its residents with his elaborate moneymaking scheme. Despite his complete lack of musical literacy, he convinces everyone that he is a brilliant bandleader and recruits all the boys in town to form a band, pocketing the cash for instruments and uniforms. The problem? Some of the town members, especially the stern librarian, Marian Paroo, don’t quite buy Harold’s story. As Harold struggles to keep his scheme afloat, he finds himself developing an attachment to the townspeople, who have all experienced a positive change since Harold came to town. Complicating matters, Harold is conflicted about fleeing town when confronted with a new-found love for Marian. The Music Man, Jr. is an All-American, crowd-pleasing, charming musical with iconic musical numbers and offers a wide range of roles for kids age 6 – 18.
