 Who's Who 

  • Nattalee Brinkman

    as Lady Larken

    Nattalee plays the role of Lady Larken in Once Upon a Mattress. Her favorite memory in this year’s musical is getting to hang out with all her friends and have a fun time. Her favorite cast meal so far this year is the spaghetti dinner. Nattalee says that if she had one superpower she would want to have the power of invisibility.

  • Jayla Hemann

    Jayla plays Lady Larken, as well as Mabelle in this production. Her favorite memory of the show so far was when Corbin biffed it. Walking tacos were her favorite meal, and if Jayla had a super power, it would be to read people's minds.

  • Amaya Peterson

    as 2nd Lady-in-Waiting - Merrill

    Amaya, a senior, has been in the musical since her sophomore year. She is a lady in waiting and can't wait for everyone to see the musical. Her advice for any newcomers would be to go for it. Musical theater is incredible to be a part of.

  • Drew Eilers

    as 2nd Knight

    This year Drew plays one of the knights. His favorite part in the musical is the bonding between the cast. The best meal this year has probably been Casey’s pizza. One superpower to have would probably be being able to fly.

  • Michael Boyd

    as 1st Knight

    Michael is tickled to be back on stage under the direction of Shutt, George, and Tessendorf. He will be playing the role of a lifetime as the 1st Knight.
