SUMMERSTAGE: "Once Upon a Mattress"
July 16-18 @ 7:30pm
If you thought you knew the story of "The Princess and The Pea," you may be in for a walloping surprise! Did you know, for instance, that Princess Winnifred actually swam the moat to reach Prince Dauntless the Drab? Or that Lady Larken's love for Sir Harry provided a rather compelling reason that she reach the bridal altar post haste? Or that, in fact, it wasn't the pea at all that caused the princess a sleepless night? Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the familiar classic of royal courtship and comeuppance provides for some side-splitting shenanigans. Chances are you'll never look at fairy tales quite the same way again. Directed by Peter Loftus. SUMMERSTAGE

SUMMERSTAGE: "Curtains"
Aug 13-15 @ 7:30pm
Kander, Ebb, and Holmes' old-fashioned murder mystery with songs in its first upstate NY staging. Based on the original book and concept by Peter Stone, Curtains! is a musical send-up of backstage murder mystery plots. Set in 1959 Boston, the show follows the fallout when the supremely untalented star of "Robbin' Hood of the Old West" is murdered during her opening night curtain call. Can a police detective who moonlights as a musical theater fan save the show, solve the case, and maybe even find love before the show reopens, without getting killed himself? Directed by Peter Loftus. SUMMERSTAGE
Adults $16, seniors $15, Capitol members $14, students $12
