This fall, the Orinda Intermediate School's Bulldog Theater presents the production of "Monty Python's Spamalot" Young@part edition, beginning Nov. 30.
This version of the 2005 Tony Award winning musical, "Spamalot," is designed for youth theaters. The story centers around King Arthur and his search for the Holy Grail. After a rather silly bit of miscommunication leads us briefly to Finland, our king and his ever-faithful squire, Patsy, begin to search for knights to accompany him on his quest. He finds his first in the unlikely guise of Dennis, a hideous local mud farmer. After convincing the locals that he is the king by conjuring the Lady of the Lake to prove it, Dennis is transformed into Sir Galahad. The rest of the knights are found far and wide and The Lady of the Lake and her Laker Girls, send our stalwart band on their way. They meet up with an unforgettable slew of outrageously kooky characters and musical hilarity ensues as Arthur and the knights make their journey.
There are two casts, which include approximately 60 OIS students along with an additional 14 OIS students serving on tech crew. Performances will run Nov. 30 through Dec. 2 at the OIS Bulldog Theater. The performance lasts approximately 90 minutes, with one intermission. For show time information and to purchase tickets, visit www.showtix4u.com. Tickets are also available at the OIS Theater a half hour prior to show times.
