ONCE upon a time there was a prince who wanted to marry a princess; but she would have to be a real princess. He travelled all over the world searching, but she was nowhere to be found...

This adaptation of the classic Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale is a full length, two act version ideally suited for Junior and Senior High School productions.


 Set in Medieval England this new version of The Princess and the Pea is easy to stage with lots of notes for teachers and directors on how to achieve an excellent production. The script requires a simple background drop and various easy to build pieces. There are also costume suggestions that won't break your budget.


Virginia Theatre of Shelley, ID


You will be proud to have parents and colleagues in the audience when the curtain goes up!

 

This script has been adapted for the many educators who have requested a full length play without the bother of musical numbers. The cast includes speaking parts for over 30 performers. Using suggestions outlined in the script you can easily cast this play with as many or as few performers as you like. The Princess and the Pea will make the best use of your auditorium and resources.

 


"My students couldn't put Princess and The Pea down when we did the read through. Everytime I said "Let's take a break" they actually fussed."
Carol Ellingson, Home Connections, Blaine, WA


Everyone gets to participate and every audience member will go away pleased with the experience!



"This wonderful adaptation by Kathryn Schultz Miller contains all the magic and enchantment that fairy tales hold over children (and adults!) There are laughs, magic and most of all, FUN for the entire family."
Michelle Juntunen, Tugboat Children's Theatre, Duluth, MN

"What a marvelous show!  It had enough humor, romance, mystery, and action to keep our audiences entertained and eager for more.  We added music, familiar songs, here and there throughout the show, which added an extra fun zip. The community simply couldn't say enough about how fun and delightful this show was. And our cast had the time of their lives - they're ready for more! Thank you for providing such a terrific show!"
