Children’s Theatre Association of San Francisco (CTA) is pleased to sponsor this post about their next production – Once Upon a Mattress Youth Edition!
“Once Upon a Mattress” is a musical comedy retelling of “The Princess and the Pea”, set in a kingdom where no one can marry until Prince Dauntless finds a bride. The Youth Edition version, suitable for elementary school children, centers on all of the members of the King’s court coming together to try and find Prince Dauntless a bride. When Princess Winifred the Woebegone arrives, her unconventional behavior and strength of character lead to a final, hilarious test involving 20 mattresses and a pea.
Audiences will enjoy the dancing and singing, and meeting the members of the court who are all trying to find the right match for the Prince, with a blend of classic fairy tale elements and lots of funny twists!
The 50-minute performance is perfect for young children and adults alike, and children can meet the cast for photos after the show.
The Children’s Theatre Association of San Francisco is an all-volunteer organization of women with the mission to bring live theater to school-age children.
