Once Upon A Mattress: Youth Edition

Germantown Community Theater Summer 2026

Directed by Eliana Mabe Written by Jay Thompson, Dean Fuller, & Marshall Barer Music by Mary Rodger

“In this wacky youth edition of Once Upon A Mattress, a the ‘true story’ musical rendition of the Princess & the Pea, Queen Aggravain sabotages the efforts of every young princess who hopes to marry her son, Prince Dauntless—and no one else can settle down until he does! Honorable Sir Harry is determined to marry the lovely Lady Larken, so he sets off for faraway lands and returns with an unlikely candidate: Princess Winnifred from the swamps. Winnifred will have to prove she’s more than royal to win the hand of her dauntless prince. With the help of a silent king, snarky wizard, quick witted minstrel, mischievous jester, dashing knights and daring ladies in waiting, can Winnifred save the day and end a kingdom wide dry spell?”
