Carol Burnett’s star vehicle was a little-
known show called Once Upon A Mattress, a
comedic, musical adaptation of Hans Christian
Andersen’s beloved fairytale, “The Princess and
the Pea.” (Music by Mary Rodgers; Lyrics by
Marshall Barer; Book by Jay Thompson, Dean
Fuller, and Marshall Barer) If you think you
know the story of the Princess and the Pea, you
may be in for a walloping surprise! C.R.O.W. is
excited to present this hilarious musical comedy
April 10-12 at the Florence Events Center, with
four public performances (Friday at 7 p.m.,
Saturday at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. and Sunday at
2 p.m.).
Auditions for the show have just concluded,
and the principal characters are going to be
portrayed by some of C.R.O.W.’s fi nest young
stars as well as a few new faces. Paula Garcia
will dazzle in the Carol Burnett role, “Princess
Winnifred,” and Cameron Utz will toe the line
as her devoted “Prince Dauntless.”
Tristin Reber will play the wicked
Queen, “Aggravain,” while Kristopher Keppol
pantomimes his feelings as “The Silent King.”
In the romantic leads, newcomer Tim Jones
will be playing hunky heartthrob, “Sir Harry,”
across from another C.R.O.W. newcomer, the
lovely Hannah Bartlett, as “Lady Larkin.”
Nyah Vollmar, Cecile Fleming, and Patrick
Rowley will provide tricks, splits, comedy, and
more as “The Minstrel,” “The Jester,” and “The
Wizard,” respectively.
Once Upon A Mattress will be presented
with the same Broadway caliber costumes,
sets, lighting design, sound, stage makeup and
other technical components that C.R.O.W. is
known for. Production team members include
Melanie Heard (Director), Jason Wood
(Musical Director), Polly Fleming (Costumes),
Genevieve Meltzer (Assistant Director), Mary

If you have a child or young adult/teen that
is interested in the performing arts, Director
Melanie Heard encourages you to attend Once
Upon A Mattress this April.
“It’s going to be a razzle, dazzle spectacle
of a show, complete with 20 downy mattresses
and a toe-tapping number called the “Spanish
Panic!” she says. “Trust me, you don’t want to
miss this show!” Tickets will be available soon
