The Community Theatre of Howell proudly announces the performances Once Upon A Mattress!

Date: Friday, May 10 from 7:30 pm to 4:00 pm

Last Updated: April 15th, 2024

Location: 1400 W. Grand River Avenue in Howell

Hosted By: The Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce


Event Details: 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? Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the classic tale The Princess and the Pea provides some side-splitting shenanigans. For after all, a princess is a delicate thing.   Directed by: Rick Spangler Assistant Director & Choreographer: Robert Martin Vocal Director: Donald Owens III Produced by Kim Carnahan

We'll also ask them the tough questions, "What are you doing to help bridge the gap that still exists for women in the workforce?".  Females are still earning 80% of their male counterparts (according to Pew Research Center, 2022). What are they doing to try and groom or mentor women to lead? This and so much more! Join us as we come together to learn, celebrate and embrace how we, as women, can make a difference, be the change, and be treated equally.
