Win tickets to see Acting Up’s “Once Upon a Mattress”. (CLOSED)

One of the great things about living in Greater Cincinnati is the opportunity to experience the arts with your kids.  I think they become even more engaged and excited when they can see their peers participating.  One local young performers theater group really gives youth a chance to shine.  Acting Up  not only produces a full scale theatrical production but they also use local talent throughout Greater Cincinnati to fulfill the roles of cast and crew (ages range from 6-18 years).   The all volunteer production team supports them all the way with production, directing, choreography, set building and costumes.  It’s even more fun and exciting for the kids in the show to play to a full house and see lots of smiling faces supporting them. On March 21-23 they will present Once Upon a Mattress at the Mason Middle School. Tickets are only $12 and can be purchased online or at the box office prior to the show. We’d love to see you there!

Show synopsis from Acting Up:

If you thought you knew the story of The Princess and the Pea, you may be in for a walloping surprise! Did you know, for instance, that Princess Winnifred actually swam the moat to reach Prince Dauntless the Drab? Or that Lady Larken’s love for Sir Harry provided a rather compelling reason that she reach the bridal altar post haste? Or that, in fact, it wasn’t the pea at all that caused the princess a sleepless night? Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the familiar classic of royal courtship and comeuppance provides for some side-splitting shenanigans. Chances are you’ll never look at fairy tales quite the same way again.
