“Once Upon a Mattress Medieval Mischief Mr. Roberts put his finger to his lips. Mrs. Perrin spoke reassuring words of encour- agement. As the volume de- creased, the butterflies in stomachs soared. This was the mo- ment the cast and crew of the spring musi- cal, Once Upon a Mat- tress , had spent grueling hours prepar- ing for. The medieval fairy tale told of a wicked queen (Lisa Roskovensky) who tried to prevent her only son, Prince Dauntless the Drab (Greg Strobel), from entering into wedlock. Luckily, Princess of the Swamp, Winnifred the Woebegone (Gail Wright) came to his aid. The queen devises a series of sure-she-will-fail tests for Winnifred, which she must pass before she can marry Dauntless. After pass- ing the usual elimination tests she then must face the ultimate challenge. The queen places a pea under twenty mattresses hoping Winnifred will not feel it and fail the test. But as all fairy tales have a happy ending, this one is no ex- ception. The knights and ladies of the kingdom stuff the mattress with joust- ing equipment, so Winnifred passes the test, marries Dauntless, and everyone (ex- cept the queen) lives happily ever after. Though a lot of hard- work, effort, and sacrifice of free time was devoted by ev- eryone involved, it was well worth it. The cast left the stage with the sound of thunderous applause ringing in their ears and both relief and sadness that the perfor- mance was over.
