Fauquier Community Theatre has chosen the musical Once Upon a Mattress as their annual youth production for a cast of ages 8-18. Auditions for the musical are open to the public and will take place on Friday, March 3, 2023 and Saturday, March 4, 2023. Pre-registration is required. Auditions will take place at the John Barton Payne Building (in Old Town Warrenton) located at 2 Courthouse Square, Warrenton, Virginia. (Please note that callbacks will be by invitation only on Saturday, March 11, 2023 at a location to be determined.).

Casting Call! There are roles for a Princess…and a Prince…and a Queen and King…and ladies, knights, a jester, and for a whole cast of characters in FCT’s youth musical, Once Upon a Mattress. The 1959 comedy musical about the Princess and the Pea, famous for launching Carol Burnett into stardom, is making its Fauquier Community Theatre premiere this summer! With director Jack Tessier, choreographer Gabrielle Tessier, and music director Catie Murray, you are invited to bring this medieval, iconic, hilarious musical to life.

Join a show with such fun songs like, “Normandy,” “Song of Love,” and the highly energetic dance, “Spanish Panic.” We need strong singers, dancers, and actors, ages 8 to 18! Please prepare a 90 second portion of a musical theatre song – I recommend researching the show and its characters to pick a song that will match the genre of the show. Read the form below carefully and fill out every field – see you at auditions!
