Once Upon A Mattress- Cabrillo Music Theatre, Thousand Oaks


ONCE UPON A MATTRESS


April 20-29, 2012
Presented at the Fred Kavli Theatre




Before Rapunzel got tangled, before Fiona met her ogre, before Belle tamed the beast, there was....Princess Winnifred!   Watch as Princess Winnifred swims the moat to reach Prince Dauntless the Drab!  Will the Evil Queen keep these two lovebirds apart?  Will a small pea hidden below twenty mattresses cause the Princess a sleepless night?  Cabrillo’s all-new production of this Broadway favorite – which launched the career of a young Carol Burnett – will provide a fresh, contemporary spin on this popular tale.  This Kavli Theatre premiere is perfect for the entire family.  And you’ll never look at fairy tales quite the same way again.

Kids!  Come dressed as a Princess, a Prince, or in PJs and receive a free gift!
