Once Upon A Mattress

Back in December Alissa was cast as Winnifred in the musical "Once Upon A mattress". Rehearsals began in January and the cast was terribly lacking men. The role of Sir Studley was simply impossible to cast in the small array of men so the Director asked around if anyone had any males they knew that would be interested in doing the show. Alissa quickly volunteered Cameron and the next day he arrived at rehearsal and was named Sir Studley. (see below Winnifred and Sir Studley in costume)


Alissa then made the director aware that Cameron was a dancer and singer and it was all uphill from there! Cameron was given featured dance solos, a singing line as well as numerous speaking lines! The director and the cast was so impressed with Cameron - Alissa was too - although she knew there is NOTHING Cameron can't do! We then changed the name of the show to "Once Upon a Cameron" Because he steals the show!! Below are scenes from the show - video clips are soon to follow once we get DVD!


This is when Alissa (Winnifred) First enters and sings her opening song called "Shy"
