Come see Princess Ida, or, Castle Adamant at the Grand!

The cast of GSSME’s 2026 show, Princess Ida, or Castle Adamant, has been hard at work preparing for our March performances!

Princess Ida has rejected the rule of men, and the marriage contract forced upon her in infancy. But when the time comes to fulfill it, her defiance may spark a war.

When Ida fails to appear for the long-promised wedding, her determined suitor, Hilarion, disguises himself and his companions as women and infiltrates Castle Adamant, a university devoted entirely to women. Once their deception is exposed, Ida and her peers face an impossible choice: should she surrender her ideals and accept Hilarion’s devotion, or stand firm and risk war between two stubborn kings—and the destruction of the university she loves?

Come find out at The Grand in Ellsworth on March 6th and 13th at 7:00, and March 7th, 8th, 14th, and 15th at 2:00! Tickets are available for purchase online now!
