A bold and buoyant swamp princess arrives in the kingdom to win Prince Dauntless’ heart but faces impossible tests devised by his domineering queen mother. With a hilarious book and charming score, this Tony-nominated musical comedy playfully upends the classic story of the Princess and the Pea. Featuring outlandish characters, delightful songs, and a true love that conquers all, Once Upon a Mattress spins a fantastical, feminist fairy tale that transports audiences to an enchanting medieval world promising a happily ever after for all ages.

by Karen Zacarías

Under the eye of the Mexican Inquisition, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz is a faithful postulate. But as a poet, Sor Juana preaches passion and defiance. When her feminist philosophies influence the wives of the elite, powerful men recruit a well-known rogue to tame Sor Juana once and for all. Their ensuing battle crackles with wit, fury, and romance… but in the end, who will surrender? Inspired by the real life of Latinidad’s pioneering 17th-century poet, Karen Zacarias’ award-winning play proves that well-behaved women rarely make history.
