A girl is sleeping all alone in the forest. When she wakes, nothing looks familiar. She can’t remember anything — where she’s from, how she got there, or even her own name.

She embarks on a journey to discover her identity and meets several fairy-tale characters along the way — Hansel and Gretel, Rumpelstiltskin, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Cinderella and Rapunzel, to name a few.

Some are helpful, some are dangerous, and some are just plain weird. All have information to help her eventually realize her true identity as a princess. As with any good fairy tale, there’s also a prince. He’s desperate to find the princess, but he’s always one step behind and inadvertently rescues and wins the hearts of all the wrong princesses.

“Princess Whatsername” is a comedic musical performance by the Kootenay Home Educators. The cast consists of home learners age six to 14.

The play will be held at Nelson Covenant Church, 702 Stanley St., on March 6 at 6 p.m., March 7 at 4 p.m. and March 8 at 4 p.m.

Admission for the family friendly event is by donation.
