Auditions for The Ugly Princess

Yes, it’s happening!

Stage Manager and one actor required for the world premiere of The Ugly Princess by Heather Morrow, to be performed at StageStruck!, the Edmonton Regional One-Act Festival, 27-28 February 2015.

Oogam is the crown princess of the rich, tiny kingdom of Halla, but she is also genuinely ugly. Her father, King Harald, has been declared insane. The king, the ugly princess, and her cousin the duchess have been shut away in a remote castle with only one smarmy servant. And when the proverbial handsome prince Eric insists on visiting Halla’s royal family, he brings an unexpected storybook ending.
