Z Center Stage

Our spring musical!

In a retelling of “The Princess and the Pea,” a far-away kingdom struggles against a marriage ban.

Queen Aggravain won’t permit anyone to marry until her grown-ish son, Prince Dauntless, marries a suitable princess.

She also happens to reject every eligible princess through a series of elaborate royalty tests, leaving the kingdom’s residents romantically frustrated.

When Lady Larken is expecting, she convinces her knight, Sir Harry, to search for a royal bachelorette for Dauntless so the couple can wed.

Sir Harry returns with Princess Winnifred, a noblewoman of the swamp whose freewheeling displays of strength clash with the Queen’s image of "a true princess".

While the Queen devises another elaborate royalty test – the one with 20 downy mattresses and one lousy pea –

the townspeople dare to uncover it before yet another match is doomed.

A hilarious take on the story of the "Princess and the Pea", this show is great for the whole family (probably not the very little, though).

We audition in February, and tickets will be on sale at the end of March!
