Director’s Note

When I was a little girl, one of my favorite memories was watching cartoons on Saturday morning which included The Fractured Fairy Tales. This show is exactly that, a fractured fairy tale. Many years ago I fell in love with Once Upon a Mattress when I had the opportunity to play the role of “Fred”–and now I have the chance to direct it! From the very first day we held auditions I knew this show was going to be special.

This musical comedy is a nutty and charming retelling of the classic fairy tale The Princess and the Pea. With all the computer games,
cell phones, social media and reality television, I am sure a lot of young people have never even heard of this fairy tale. But now we can tell that tale and in our own fractured way. The show is filled with lots of choreography that will remind you of every musical you have ever seen. Memorable songs that you will be humming long after you have left the theater. A tale that is filled with a joking Jester, a mute king, an aggravating queen, a wacky wizard, a handsome
minstrel, a shy prince and last but not least, a very lovable and quirky princess. So sit back and and enjoy the fun and the magic of
our fractured fairy tale!
