Lamar High School Presents "Once Upon a Mattress"

Lamar High School’s Fine Arts Department presents “Once Upon a Mattress” in the Ned S. Holmes performance hall starring over 50 Lamar students!

If you thought you knew the story of "The Princess and The Pea," you may be in for a walloping surprise! Did you know, for instance, that Princess Winnifred actually swam the moat to reach Prince Dauntless the Drab? Or that Lady Larken's love for Sir Harry provided a rather compelling reason that she reach the bridal altar post haste? Or that, in fact, it wasn't the pea at all that caused the princess a sleepless night? Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the familiar classic of royal courtship and comeuppance provides for some side-splitting shenanigans. Chances are you'll never look at fairy tales quite the same way again. “Once Upon a Mattress” opens Thursday, Feb. 25, 6 p.m. 

Tickets available at the school store, the book room and online here.
