Don’t miss out on your chance to see over 75 local kids act, sing and dance their hearts out on the Coastal Rep stage over the next 2 weekends. Join us for a hilarious spin on the Princess and the Pea fairy tale that will leave you laughing, clapping, and cheering for the unlikely courtship of Prince Dauntless and the moat-swimming princess of his dreams, Winnifred.

Coastal Repertory Theatre is proud to announce the opening of Once Upon a Mattress, the adaptation of the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale The Princess and the Pea. Book by Jay Thompson, Dean Fuller and Marshall Barer, music by Mary Rodgers, lyrics by Marshall Barer, and directed by Michael Lederman.

"To watch our Coastside youth light up the stage is a thrill of a lifetime." - Director, Michael Lederman
