Once Upon a Mattress
Once Upon a Mattress, a comic masterpiece based on Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale The Princess and the Pea, propelled Carol Burnett to stardom as Winnifred the Woebegone, a simple swamp princess hoping to win the hand of the prince despite all odds. This hilariously wacky romp is filled with witty, charming, and wonderfully romantic songs and dance numbers composed by Mary Rodgers. It serves as a delightful bookend to a season that began with a neglected gem by her father, Richard Rodgers.
Art & Design MFA Exhibition: Determinant Reflections
Celebrate with our graduating MFA artists, who exhibit their finest work and share their creative journeys. Featuring work by Lilly Dyer, Emmanuel Guerra, Kristy Lisle, Thomas C. Romero and Eric Skadson.
