Once Upon a Mattress: Youth Edition is now a Theatre for Young Audiences musical for the whole family to enjoy! Winnifred the Woebegone is just a simple swamp princess looking to win the heart of Prince Dauntless. Join us to find out if she can pass the impossible test Queen Aggravain has in store for her! Featuring a marvellously modern yet medieval score, this high-energy musical showcases the talent of its spirited and mighty youth performers. Don't hit the snooze button and miss out on this enchanting production!

The run time of Once Upon a Mattress: Youth Edition is around an hour and fifteen minutes, with no intermission. Performances will take place in Corner Stage (FAB 2-51) in the Fine Arts Building on the University of Alberta campus. Evening shows will begin promptly at 6pm, while our matinee show will begin at 2pm.

Tickets can be purchased on Eventbrite up until the start of the show, or with cash at the door (unless the performance is sold out).

Paid parking is available in Lot U and in the Timms/Telus Carpark on the UofA campus.

Entrance to the theatre is on the second floor of the Fine Arts Building; there is an elevator and wheelchair accessible seating for patrons with accessibility needs. Embrace the cozy nature of the show and bring seating pads, couch cushions, pillows, etc to make your experience as comfortable as possible. Our venue has limited chairs available and a concrete floor. Please note that due to the hazards that folding chairs present in the case of an evacuation, the UofA will only allow music festival style chairs no higher than 5 inches off the ground. So dust off those Folk Fest chairs a few months early!
