ABOUT THE FILM Bagels meet bongos in THE MAMBONIKS, a 90-minute documentary that tells the little-known story of the Jewish love affair with Latin music. Set in New York, Havana, Miami Beach, and the Catskill Mountains, this uplifting film features a lovable, somewhat zany collection of dancers from the 1950s. Now retired yet still dancing in Florida, they share their passion for the mambo, the hot dance from Cuba that became a world-wide sensation. With an infectious soundtrack including Tito Puente, Celia Cruz and mambo king Pérez Prado, this film explores a mostly unexamined aspect of Jewish life and culture.

ABOUT THE PLAY:
This musical theatre adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale, “The Princess and the Pea,” tells the story of a prince in search of a true princess. “Once Upon A Mattress” begins in a faraway kingdom long ago, where due to an unhappy curse, the King is unable to speak. Meanwhile, his terror-of-a-wife, Queen Aggravain, has taken over control of the kingdom. Most importantly, in an attempt to keep Prince Dauntless single, she has decreed that only the princess that can pass her test may marry her son. Further, no one else in the kingdom may marry until Prince Dauntless does.

Luckily, Sir Harry is able to find an amazing princess, Winnifred the Woebegone. She instantly catches the attention of Prince Dauntless, and in the end, is able to pass the Queen's supposedly impassable sensitivity test. When the Queen still tries to prevent Prince Dauntless from marrying, he ends up standing up to her, which ends up breaking the curse on the King. Now able to speak, the King regains his rightful position as leader of the kingdom, and all is well.

Hans Christian Andersen wrote more than 150 fairy tales including “The Little Mermaid,” “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” “The Ugly Duckling,” “Thumbelina” and “The Snow Queen.” More than 120 years after the publication of “The Princess and the Pea,” Mary Rodgers, Marshall Barer and Jay Thompson adapted “The Princess and the Pea” to musical theatre in 1958.
