Washougal High theater students to present ‘Once Upon a Mattress’

The Washougal High School drama department usually forgoes a full-fledged production in favor of smaller class shows in the spring, but teacher Kelly Gregersen wanted to do something different this year to reward his students for persevering through a pandemic which took away a lot of their opportunities to perform in front of live audiences.

Already wrapped up in directing “Obligatory Tomato Reference” in April and “The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon” in early May, Gregerson knew he would need help to make his plans come to fruition. That’s when two of Gregerson’s former students volunteered to save the day.
