Rental Costumes for Once Upon a Mattress
Authors: Mary Rodgers (music), Marshall Barer (lyrics), and Jay Thompson, Dean Fuller, and Marshall Barer (book)
Time Period: 15th century fictional past
Setting: A remote, far-off royal kingdom
Summary: Queen Aggravain has banned anyone else in the kingdom from marrying until her son, Prince Dauntless, finds a bride, but creates impossible tests to prevent any princess from being suitable. Enter Princess Winnifred the Woebegone, an unrefined, boisterous, and lovable "swamp princess" who appalls the Queen. Aggravain devises an impossible sensitivity test—placing a single tiny pea under a towering stack of twenty mattresses—to prove Winnifred is not a true, delicate princess. But Winnifred finds some allies amongst the other members of court to help her prove her worth as a real princess.

Durable Costumes
Durable Costumes
Our costumes are not brand-new. In fact, they've appeared in thousands of productions (much like the costumes worn on Broadway). We employ a proprietary process of building costumes that will last many years, can be altered easily to fit virtually any body type, and can be laundered without chemical/industrial procesing.
