You don’t want to miss this hilarious musical comedy based on The Princess and the Pea. In our show, Queen Aggravain (her husband, King Sextimus, mute as the result of a curse) takes complete control over the kingdom and decrees that no one in the kingdom can get married until her son (Prince Dauntless) is married to a true princess. The Queen has tested many princesses from many different kingdoms, but none have passed the test. The Ladies and Knights are upset that they cannot get married, especially Lady Larken and Sir Harry, who have broken the law and secretly eloped and are now expecting a child. Sir Harry goes on a journey to find a princess who can pass the test so that no one will find out about their secret. He finds a princess in the swamp land named Princess Winnifred.
Will Sir Harry convince Princess Winnifred to accompany him?
Will Sir Harry’s and Larken’s secret be exposed?
Will Winnifred pass the test?
The answer to these and other questions await you on
