"Once Upon a Mattress" at RHS this Weekend

Thanks to >Rockville High School parent, Amy Alexander, for letting us know about this performance and giving us a glimpse of last night’s dress rehearsal!

She writes:

“What do a “shy” princess, a “dauntless” prince, a bossy queen, a quiet king, knights and ladies in waiting, and lots and lots of mattresses have in common? They’re all in Rockville High School’s production of “Once Upon a Mattress” this weekend!

Performances will be on Friday April 11th and Saturday April 12th at 7pm, and Sunday April 13th at 2pm at the Zane Rush Auditorium of RHS. Tickets can be purchased at the door for $7 for adults, and $5 for students, senior citizens, and children. Sign interpretation for the hearing impaired will be available at the Sunday April 13th performance.

This light-hearted and funny musical adaptation of the fable “The Princess and the Pea” is wonderful for audiences of all ages. We hope to see you there!”
