Once Upon a Mattress Cast
Princess Winnifred the Woebegone (Illyria Escher)
She is not the “classical” princess in any sense of the word.
She can swim moats, lift weights and she prefers the swamps of home to a fancy castle. She is
energetic, adventurous, independent and optimistic.
Prince Dauntless (Christopher Cimmino)
Still a “mama’s boy,” but it is evident that he is ready to move on. He is
child-like, naïve, with a likeable sense of innocence. He adores Winnifred and is in awe of her
every step.
Queen Aggravain (Delaney Grady)
Very protective of her only son, Dauntless. She is a strong character that takes
the stage with her presence. She is overbearing, lively, and domineering.
Lady Larken (Caris Carbone)
A classic beauty. She is graceful, charming and in love with Sir Harry. She is very eager
for Dauntless to marry so she can wed Harry before her little bundle arrives. She is eager to
please and would never cause embarrassment to her love, Sir Harry.
Sir Harry (Tyler Couture)
He is a handsome and masculine knight, but quite pompous -- a bit of a “stuffed shirt.” He
fancies that he may one day become the Prime Minister, if he can find a Princess to marry
Dauntless, so he can wed Lady Larkin. He is chivalrous, brave, determined but a bit taken with
himself.
Minstrel (Natalia Mauro)
Functions as the narrator and has a direct link to the audience,
and is attractive and “worldly”. Has an air of confidence and enjoys telling the real story to the
audience. S/he is likeable and cunning when need be. Works at foiling the Queen’s plans.
Jester (Jackie Codi)
Full of energy. Has a hidden
passion for show business and the “good old days” Her loyalty lies with her friends, the
King & the Minstrel.
Wizard (Catherine Myers)
The Queen’s Loyal Confidante. She is magical and mysterious and is able to do several magic
tricks. She possesses a sense of showmanship. Kind of a buffoon though.
King Sextimus, the Silent (Jenna Downing)
He is mute, due to a curse, but you always know what he is thinking, He
is expressive, mischievous and playful.
