At Old Cowtown Museum’s Empire House Theater, The Christmas Princess follows a palace escape plot rather than the cattle-town past the museum interprets. Facing a Christmas Day wedding she does not want, the Princess disguises herself as a maid and takes up a Witch’s quest to find three magical gifts.
The play begins on Christmas Eve, with the Princess’s wedding to Prince Valiant planned for the next day. She seeks a way out of the match by going undercover as a maid and asking a Witch for help; the answer is a search for three gifts that could let her escape.
The event description frames the royal match as a comic predicament: the Princess refuses to marry, while Valiant is presented as handsome but foolish. The published premise centers on that conflict and the magical quest.
