“ONCE  UPON  A  MATTRESS”  is  presented  through  special  arrangement  with 
R&H  Theatricals,  1065  Avenue  of  the  Americas,  Suite  2400,  New  York,  NY  10018 


DIRECTOR'S  MESSAGE 


It  is  said  that  you  need  three  things  in 
the  theater  -  the  play,  the  actors  and  the 
audience  -  and  each  must  give 
something. 

First  I  will  discuss  the  play.  Once  Upon 
Mattress  is  a  piece  that  has  interested 
me  for  years.  This  light,  fun,  exciting, 
and  fulfilling  piece  was  offered  to  me  to 
direct  and  I  couldn't  resist.  From  the 
funny  jokes,  the  kooky  characters,  to  the 
music  . .  .Mattress  has  proved  itself 
worthy  to  me,  now  it  was  my  job  to  the 
creators  to  make  their  piece  worthy  of 
being  produced  by  the  Livingston 
Theatre  Company. 


We  were  already  on  our  way  to  success  when  the  ever-so-talented  production 
staff  joined  the  team.  Sarah  Croce  (Choreography),  Jamie  Bunce  (Musical 
Direction),  Marisa  Cucuzza  (Co-Direction)  and  myself  joined  together  to 
make  the  play  come  to  life  in  what  we  described  as  a  “storybook  cartoon.” 
The  next  thing  that  is  needed  in  theatre  is  the  actors.  Auditions  and  callbacks 
were  held  and  we  were  blessed  with  a  cast  whose  non-stop  perseverance, 
dedication  and  talent  to  this  production  are  what  really  started  to  build  on  the 
success  of  the  show.  Countless  hours  of  rehearsal  resulted  in  a  cast  who  is 
close-knit  and  inseparable  and  whose  continuous  work  has  really  paid  off. 


Now,  the  play  and  the  actors  were  in  place.  It  was  time  to  put  every  last  bit 
of  effort  into  each  rehearsal  and  allow  our  “storybook  cartoon”  vision  to 
come  to  life. 


The  blood,  sweat  and  tears  of  this  production  team,  cast  and  crew  were  shed 
in  order  for  the  final  thing  that  is  needed  in  theatre  -  you,  the  audience  to  join 
us  as  we  share  with  you  our  “storybook  cartoon.”  Each  and  every  one  of  us 
have  gave  something  tonight  for  this  wonderful  production  of  . .  .Mattress  so 
sit  back  and  enjoy. 

Sincerely, 

Russell  Pinto,  Jr. 


PRODUCERS’  MESSAGE 

Welcome  theatergoers!  We  are  thrilled  to  be  continuing  our  season 
after  last  semester's  considerable  successes  of  A  Funny  Thing 
Happened. . .  and  A.  Chorus  Fine,  with  Once  Upon  A  Mattress.  We 
know  that  you  will  enjoy  this,  our  third  production  of  the  year,  just 
as  much  as  the  others. 

In  less  than  five  weeks,  the  cast  of  Mattress  has  taken  a  mere  script 
and  turned  it  into  the  perfect  blend  of  fairytale  and  farce.  They 
have  brought  to  life  this  musical  adaptation  of  The  Princess  and 
the  Pea  which  presents  a  story  with  a  mix  of  authenticity  and 
originality.  The  musical  is  told  through  the  music  of  Mary 
Rodgers,  the  Lyrics  of  Marshall  Barer,  and  the  book  by  Jay 
Thompson,  Marshall  Barer  and  Dean  Fuller.  When  it  opened  at 
the  Phoenix  Theatre  in  May  1959  it  marked  the  stage  debut  of 
Carol  Burnett  in  the  role  of  Winnifred  the  Woebegone.  The  play 
was  nominated  for  several  Tony  Awards,  including  Best  Leading 
Actress  (Carol  Burnett,),  Best  Musical,  and  Best  Musical  Revival. 

We  would  also  like  to  thank  the  staff,  crew,  cast  and  pit  for 
providing  their  talents  in  creating  our  own  storybook  casde  here 
within  the  student  center.  We  are  extremely  grateful  for  their  time 
and  dedication  in  contributing  to  the  feel  of  this  show  by  helping 
us  to  carry  out  our  vision.  We  hope  you  enjoy  learning  about  the 
“true”  story  of  the  Princess  and  the  Pea  as  told  by  our  performers. 
We  look  forward  to  seeing  you  again  at  Camelot  in  April! 


Sincerely, 
Timothy  DiVito

WHO'S  WHO 


During  rehearsals,  Izzie  could  usually  be 
found  giggling  and  dancing  with  Devin,  or 
prancing  around  singing  "Wicked"  to 
Amanda.  Izzie  would  like  to  thank  the  cast 
and  directors  for  a  fab  show.  She  would  also 
like  to  credit  her  will  to  succeed  and  passion 
for  life  to  her  loving  parents  and  friends. 

They  are  her  constant  inspiration. 

RUSSELL  PINTO  (DIRECTOR)  Russell  is 
extremely  excited  to  be  directing  this 
production  of  Once  Upon  A  Mattress.  Russell 
is  a  Junior  majoring  in  Theatre  Arts  and 
Journalism  &  Media  Studies.  Some  of  his 
favorite  past  credits  include:  Foodoose,  Once 
On  This  Island,  Candide,  Anything  Goes, 
Pippin,  and  Man  of  La  Mancha.  Russell 
wants  to  thank  his  friends,  family,  the  cast  and 
crew  of  Mattress  for  their  constant  dedication 
and  hard  work.  He  especially  wants  to  thank 
Marisa,  Sarah,  and  Jamie.  Without  their 
talents,  this  show  would  have  not  been 
possible.  Sit  back  and  enjoy  this  all-star 
production  of  Once  Upon  A  Mattress. 

MARISA  CUCUZZA  (DIRECTOR)  Marisa 
is  a  Junior  at  Rutgers  College,  directing  a 
musical  for  the  first  time.  She  has  also  helped 
direct  "Once  On  This  Island  Jr."  in  Nudey. 
Previous  LTC  roles  include  Fastrada  in 
"Pippin",  and  Marta  in  "Company".  Other 
favorite  roles  include:  Eva  Peron  (Evita),  Eve 
(Children  of  Eden),  Ariel  (Footloose), 
Narrator  (Joseph),  and  Sarah  Brown  (Guys  & 
Dolls).  Her  hope  is  to  become  a  casting 
director  in  theatre,  TV,  or  film.  Many  thanks 
to  the  wonderful  cast,  crew  and  production 
staff.  Also,  thanks  to  Mom,  Dad,  Nana,  Papa 
and  P.  I  would  not  be  able  to  do  half  the 
things  I  dreamed  of  without  your  support.

Andris,  the  I TC  executive  board,  her  parents
