Casting call for Stawell show
Stawell Performing Arts Company is on the hunt for cast members to become involved its 2022 musical production of Spamalot.
It has put out a casting call to people across the Wimmera.
Show director Tyler Wineberg said the company had chosen Spamalot because of the diversity of roles in the show and the opportunity this created for people to get involved.
“Spamalot has everything from kings, knights and ladies of the lake, to French taunters and killer rabbits,” he said.
Mr Wineberg said opportunities ranged from the lead characters, to the ensemble and chorus parts, as well as being involved in the production team or backstage.
“Apart from being a Broadway award-winning musical, it is a lot of fun – and let’s face it, coming off the last two years who couldn’t do with a bit of fun and social connection. The beauty of Spamalot is that almost all roles can be played by any gender, and there are parts for people of all ages and abilities.”
Lovingly ‘ripped off’ from Monty Python and the Holy Grail by Eric Idle and John Du Prez, Tony Award-winning Spamalot tells the legendary tale of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table in their quest to find the Grail.
Auditions for lead character parts will occur in the first week of May.
Rehearsals start in July and the show takes the stage in late October.
