The Ocean City Theatre Company created its Junior Company to enhance theater education in the greater Ocean City region. Students with an interest in theater, dance and music, from schools across the Delaware Valley, audition to be a member of the prestigious OCTC Junior Company.
The 6th – 9th grade members of OCTC’s Junior Company will present “Once Upon a Mattress” (“Getting to Know” version) at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 22 on the Ocean City Music Pier (Moorlyn Terrace and Boardwalk).
This comic musical fable is adapted from the well-known fairy tale, “The Princess and the Pea.” Prince Daultess is desperate to marry, but his overbearing mother, Queen Aggravain, has decreed that he may marry only a genuine princess who can pass the Queen’s arduous test.
Full of humorous twists and turns, “Once Upon a Mattress” is a show that is certain to delight audiences of all ages.
Tickets are $12 per person and can be purchased by calling 609-525-9248 or visiting www.ocnj.us/boxoffice.
The creative team for “Once Upon a Mattress” includes Donald Toal (director), Lisa Toal (choreographer) and Betsy Puitt-Harrison (music director).
