Once Upon a Mattress finally happened!
After being snowed out last Thursday, the show went on Friday night and Saturday at 1 and 7.
It went really well. People knew their lines and songs and it was beautiful!
This week, if you just so happen to be an Oakhurstian or close to it, the show will play again tomorrow at 7 and Saturday at 7. Tickets are 6 dollars for students and 8 dollars for adults.
The show is based loosely on princess and the pea and it is wonderful.

| Princess Winnifred (Aubrey) and Knights in "Shy" |
 |
| Prince Dauntless, Jester and King Sextimus before "Man to Man Talk" |
In a land far far away, many moons ago, there was a kingdom where no one can get married until the Prince does. Aubrey Scott, who plays the lead role, Princess Winnifred, is a princess from the swamps who arrives at the kingdom to try for Prince Dauntless's hand in marriage. Prince Dauntless, played by Dakota Stump, wants to get married, but his over-bearing mother, Queen Aggravain (Kazia Hart), doesn't want him to. She and her side kick, the Wizard (Erica Grant), think up tests that are impossible to pass so as to fail every princess suing for Dauntless's hand. When Winniefred shows up, the Queen and Wizard try to think of a test that Winnifred will be sure to fail, a sensitivity test! It is therefore up to the mute King Sextimus (Alex Ratchford), The Minstrel (Mary Gomez), Jester (Natalie Neff...Me!), Lady Larken (Lacey Smith) and Sir Harry (Evan Ewert) to find out what the test is and make sure Fred passes so that the whole kingdom and expectant Lady Larken can get married and live happily ever after!
