In a small kingdom in medieval times, Prince Dauntless (Nate Wallace) is looking for a bride. A dozen girls have already been tested and rejected as unsuitable by his mother, the talkative Queen Aggravain (Jordan Norman), who dominates the kingdom and her mute husband, King Sextimus (Connor Mendel). The marriage law of the land states “no one may wed until Dauntless shares his marriage bed” and the lords and ladies of the court are distressed. There is definitely An Opening for a Princess here. Sir Harry (Aiden Knoll) returns with a princess, Princess Winnifred (Kate Stanloski), who arrives dripping wet as she swam the castle’s moat in her anxiousness! The Queen is appalled by such behavior. Her son absolutely won’t marry “any moat-swimmer” like this, so she sets out to trick Winnifred with a new test. Come check out this family friendly performance in the Allegan Performing Arts Center!
