Don't 'sleep' on this charming retelling of "The Princess and the Pea". As the story goes, the Prince can only become king after taking a bride — a ruling that his mother, is not-so-secretly using to stay in power. After successfully vetoing all the princesses in the land through a series of rigged trials (like asking one princess to do long division even though it hasn’t been invented yet), her reign looks secured until a brave knight returns to the castle with a “strangely energetic swamp girl,” who is eager to prove herself worthy of the princes’ affections. Join us at the information meeting for this years show, Once Upon a Mattress. Reach out to Mrs. Ashley Greenlee in the Choir Room at Bonner Springs HS or email her at greenleea@usd204.net.
