CASTING CALL: OPEN AUDITIONS!
AUDITION INFO
About the Show:
CAMELOT by Lerner and Lowe.
Co-directed by Joe and Lorraine Bousard
The legendary love triangle of King Arthur, Guenevere and Sir Lancelot leaps from the pages of T.H. White’s novel in Lerner and Loewe’s award-winning, soaring musical. Borrowing from the Arthurian legends, CAMELOT is the duo’s fantastical masterpiece featuring the songs, "If Ever I Would Leave You," “I Loved You Once in Silence,” "The Lusty Month of May," and of course, "Camelot." An idealistic young King Arthur hopes to create a kingdom built on honor and dignity, embodied by his Knights of The Round Table. His Ideals, however are tested when his lovely queen, Guenevere, falls in love with the young Knight, Lancelot and the fate of the kingdom hangs in the balance.
