Mattress Draws Crowds What has Z0 mattresses, one small pea, a mute king, a talk- ative queen, and a kingdom of more than 40 people? No, it's not Camelot lt's the Katella High School Drama Depart- ment's Spring musical. f'Once Upon A Mattress. lf you were one of the less fortunate and did not see the musical, you missed out on a fun-filled night of comedy and music. The musical appeared for a short engagement on May 9, IO, and ll. The production of three days is based on the fairy tale of The Princess and The Pea, only it is filled with musi- cal and dance numbers and tends to shy away from the seri- ous side. Having the starring role as the Princess Winnifred was Kristy Takacs. She was trying for the hand of Prince Daunt- less lBruce Berubel in marriage, but first had to pass an unfair test by the Queen lStacy Good- ingl. And ofcourse, the Princess passed the test. and everyone lived Happily Ever After. But if it were not for the expedition for a princess initiated by Sir Harry lMatt Vargol, all would have been lost. Sir Harry went to find a princess only because his love Lady Larken lTrudi Paddisonl had become preg- nant, and no one could be mar- ried until Prince Dauntless was. As you know how the story ends. everything turned out for the better and the Queen got it in the end. The actors were not the only ones to be commended for the musical's success, many others were involved also. lt had a crew of 16 people who helped design and build the sets, and an orchestra of IO people, three directors, and one stage man- ager. The stage manager was Janet Laferve, and the directors were Peggy Harju Cactingl, Nancy Wolfe Qvocall, and Dan- ny Wagner fmusicalj. Many people put their time and effort into making the 1985 Spring Musical a success and it was be- cause it all happened with a pea and a princess Once Upon A Mattress. - Alan Tyson, playing the Wizard. wonders how he is ever going to get his hand out from under Stacy Gooding, playing Queen Aggravain. - Female lead, Kristy Takacs, playing Princess Winnifred, sings her way to glory. - Are we having fun yet? asks Karl Stuckenberg who plays the Jester.
