The second section delves into the old storybooks and looks at what Princess Winifred really thought about sleeping on a pea. The princess will be played by freshman Brynn Patenaude. Her magical, feline sidekick will be played by freshman Lexi Clark, and the pea is played by freshman Nate Chamberlain.

The third and final set is “The Princess and the Frog.” Freshman Maddie Strout will play the princess and sophomore Nathaniel Grindstaff will play the frog. This final piece looks at the true nature of beauty and how a royal princess deals with a frog that begs for a kiss.

“I’m really excited to be working with new students who are both enthusiastic and experienced in the field of acting,” said Barnes in the release.
