No sleeping Through Once Upon A Mattress Tales of chivalry and romance during the medieval time period came alive with this year's musical production of Once Upon a Mattress . This twisted version of the ''Princess and the Pea presented a musical tale of one princess's chivalric duties to win her love's hand in marriage. Problems began with Queen Aggravain (Beth Larson), an over-protective mother, disapproving of all the eligible princesses in the neighboring kingdoms who wanted to wed her son, Prince Dauntless (Dan Hemming). To make problems worse. King Sextimus(Byron Berry) couldn't defy his wife's orders because he was plagued with a spell of muteness that would only be broken when the mouse devoured the hawk. Queen Aggravain refused any marriages within the kingdom until a princess, as wonderful as herself, was found to marry her son. Meanwhile, to save herself from shame. Lady Larken(Kris Ann Pinnow) needed to wed her boyfriend Sir Henry(Mike Shreve) before nine months time. Forcing the Wizard (Robert Vickerman) to conjure up impossible tests, the Queen prevents any Princess from taking her draby Dauntless away. Sir Henry, wanting Dauntlesses marriage to get out of the way of his own, set off to the swamplands and brought back Princess Winnifred(Kathy Ambler). Arriving as contestant number fourteen, Winnifred shocked the kingdom yet impressed Dauntless by swimming the moat. If Winnifred passed the sensitivity test by feeling a pea under twenty mattresses, she and Dauntless would be allowed to marry. As the musical comes to an end, the Wizard, Minstrel (Lee Wunschel), and the Jester (Brent Brayko) were tired of all the preposterous delays of the kingdoms, marriages, so they put jousting equipment, instead of a pea, under the mattresses to keep Winnifred from sleeping. Act II ends with the young loves of the kingdom married. The king's spell of muteness passed onto his wife for Dauntless finally stood up for himself against his mother. The mouse had finally devoured the hawk. 10
