GENOA – The Genoa-Kingston Drama Department will present its spring musical, the fairy tale romp "Once Upon a Mattress," March 15 through 17 in the high school auditorium.

“This is really a classic musical created by Mary Rogers, daughter of Broadway giant Richard Rogers,” said G-K drama director Jon Fromi, who is at the helm of this year’s production. “It’s a favorite of high schools across the nation, and there’s a good reason for that. It’s fun show to do and a fun show to sit and watch.”

This retelling of "The Princess and The Pea" centers on the comedic exploits of a far-off kingdom ruled by a talkative Queen (Samantha Fisher) and a mute King (Cal Thompson). Their son (Matt Chandler) is of the age to take a bride and the law throughout the kingdom is that no one else may wed until this happens.
