Prepare for a delightfully hilarious twist on The Princess and the Pea! Queen Aggravain has issued a royal decree: no one in the kingdom can marry until her son, the charming but clueless Prince Dauntless, finds the “perfect” wife. Determined to claim a bride, Sir Harry returns from his quest with Winifred, a bold, brash, and refreshingly unconventional lady from the swamps. Dauntless falls head over heels, but the queen is fiercely determined to sabotage their blossoming romance and get rid of Winifred once and for all. Bursting with catchy melodies, clever humor, and uproarious antics, this production delivers nonstop entertainment and unforgettable moments that will change the way you see this classic fairy tale forever!
The show features talented student performers including Vivian Dauner as Winnifred, Tessa Priesman as Queen Aggravain, Tommy Melone-Reynoso as Dauntless, Charlie Gaillard as Prince Harry, Nyawuda John as Lady Larkin and a variety of other singers and dancers in the production. The show is directed by Scott Mead, with musical direction by Kathryn Bohn and Jeff Mount. Choreography by Julie Stanfill, Costumes by Leah Metzger and our publicity coordinator, Belen Castillo. The production will feature the work of Tom Bertino and Ernie Gubbels, the CHS resident technical artists and our alumni tech assistants Remy Lupo and Devan Brichacek and assistant director CJ Keller.

Throughout Santa’s Magic, the message of inclusivity and positivity shines brightly, accompanied by just the right touch of silliness and enchantment, making it the perfect tradition for your family’s holiday season.
Shows are ticketed to ensure each family has time to interact with Santa, and tickets are free for museum guests.
