Based on the fairy tale of The Princess and the Pea, this musical centers around Prince Dauntless the Drab whose mother, Queen Agravain, seeking to keep the boy to herself, has declared that he will wed only a true princess of royal blood. When Princess Winnifred arrives dripping wet (having swam the moat!) and declares herself a contender for the Prince's hand, the Queen devises a clever test to determine whether this self-proclaimed princess is worthy of her son.

Tickets go on sale July 7 and can be purchased directly online or visiting the Hutchinson Area Chamber office.
