<p>Once Upon a Mattress is a comical spoof of the classic fairytale story, The Princess and the Pea. The story takes place in a faraway kingdom, where Prince Dauntless is found searching for a bride. However, his hard to please mother, Queen Aggravain, makes it impossible for him to find a wife that she finds to be suitable. When tomboy Princess Winnifred comes along, Prince Dauntless falls madly in love with her. Of course, Queen Aggravain disapproves.

<p>It's the pea under the mattress that keeps Princess Winnifred from sleeping, right? Once Upon a Mattress will tell you the truth behind the pea, and the real reason why Princess Winnifred was unable to sleep at night.

<p>The Prosper High School Theatre Arts Department puts on three productions a year using only students as cast and crew.</p>
