The Renaissance Center’s community theatre troupe, the prestigious Renaissance Players is excited to announce its Spring show, the magical musical Once Upon a Mattress March 27th through April 5th, 2009.
Based on the classic Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale The Princess and the Pea, this musical will enchant audiences with its amazing humor and heartwarming determination. A devious queen devises impossible tests for potential brides for her drab son, but is foiled when a princess nicknamed Fred emerges from the swamps to win the kingdom’s hearts.
Tickets are on sale now and will sell out quickly! The show runs Fridays and Saturdays at 7pm and Sundays at 2pm from March 27th through April 5th. Tickets are $8 for children, $12 for seniors and $15 for adults. Saturday, March 28th will also feature a special matinee performance at noon that includes a special meal with a meet and greet with selected members of the cast. Tickets for this unique matinee are $18 for children, $22 for seniors and $25 for adults.
In addition as a way to give back to the community, various actors and actresses from the production of Once Upon a Mattress are going into local schools and libraries to read the fairy tale the Princess and the Pea in order to advocate the importance of reading.

The Renaissance Players shows are cast through open auditions and presented in the Performance Hall. This troupe provides Middle Tennesseans with an opportunity to work with professional directors, actors, technicians and craftsmen to present high quality productions.
