DVHS Drama Club streams ‘Once Upon a Mattress’

Don’t miss this musical comedy made famous by Carol Burnette as Princess Winnifred the Woebegone.

In the Delaware Valley High School Drama Club’s hilarious tweaking of the fairytale “The Princess and the Pea,” Queen Aggravain has ruled that none may marry until her son, Prince Dauntless marries. However, she has managed to sabotage every princess who comes along.

When Sir Harry and Lady Larken learn they are going to be parents, wed or not, he goes off to the swamps and brings back Princess Winnifred (“Fred” to her friends). The queen is horrified and immediately begins to scheme. But Winnifred, with some help from Sir Harry, the King, and the Jester, isn’t going to be quite so easy to get rid of.

The show will be streamed on June 11, 12, and 13. Tickets are available at our.show/mattress.
