The Princess And The Pea Y’all

Offered both Onsite and Virtual

The classic Hans Christian Andersen tale of a kingdom in search of a “real” princess gets a Southern-fried makeover in this warm and witty, one-of-a-kind adaptation.

Twenty mattresses, one pea, and approximately 200 laughs later, the new princess is welcomed into the family and everyone learns not to “judge a book by its cover.”

Of course, at the end…it’s “happily ever after, y’all!”

This show is recommended for a maximum 250 for children ages pre-K to 5th grade and families. Performed from behind a booth type stage with glove style hand puppets. Concludes with a short behind the scenes demonstration
