  • Monty Python's SPAMALOT
    Monty Python’s Spamalot CHARACTERS Please note that the ages listed just serve as a guide. All roles are available and casting is open, and newcomers are welcome and encouraged. Also, character doublings are only suggested here and may be changed based on audition results and production needs. KING ARTHUR (Baritone, Late 30s-60s) – The King of England, who sets out on a quest to form the Knights of the Round Table and find the Holy Grail. Great humor. Good singer. THE LADY OF THE LAKE (Alto with large range, 20s-40s) – A Diva. Strong, beautiful, possesses mystical powers. The leading lady of the show. Great singing voice is essential, as she must be able to sing effortlessly in many styles and vocal registers. Sings everything from opera to pop to scatting. Gets angry easily. SIR ROBIN (Tenor/Baritone, 30s-40s) – A Knight of the Round Table. Ironically called "Sir Robin the Brave," though he couldn't be more cowardly. Joins the Knights for the singing and dancing. Also plays GUARD 1 and BROTHER MAYNARD, a long-winded monk. A good mover. SIR LANCELOT (Tenor/Baritone, 30s-40s) – A Knight of the Round Table. He is fearless to a bloody fault but through a twist of fate discovers his "softer side." This actor MUST be great with character voices and accents, as he also plays THE FRENCH TAUNTER, an arrogant, condescending, over-the-top Frenchman; the KNIGHT OF NI, an absurd, cartoonish leader of a peculiar group of Knights; and TIM THE ENCHANTER, a ghostly being with a Scottish accent.

  • Twenty Years of Fine Performing Arts at Your Washington Pavilion
    Twenty Years of Fine Performing Arts at Your Washington Pavilion s we celebrate our 20th season we’d like to take a look back at where we’ve been and what has gotten us to where we are now. In the playbill for ASPAMALOT we covered the first ten years of shows presented in the Pavilion Performance Series at the Washington Pavilion and the extremely diverse and vastly entertaining roster. The ten years that followed were no exception and expanded our tradition of presenting educational, enriching and entertaining live experiences. In 2009, we launched our 11th season with the hit Broadway musical, MAMMA MIA! Aquila Theatre Company’s AS YOU LIKE IT told the story of power hungry men exiling their brothers, girls playing guys and finding love in unexpected places. The hilarious new musical, THE CHURCH BASEMENT LADIES featuring Bill Christopher, also known as M*A*S*H’s Father Mulcahy, was presented in October. Royal Winnipeg Ballet kicked off 2010 with their performance of A Cinderella Story. The season wrapped up with Melissa Gilbert performing in eight shows of LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE-THE MUSICAL. We presented more Broadway than ever starting with our 12th season in 2010. LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL, MONTY PYTHON’S SPAMALOT, AVENUE Q and DISNEY’S BEAUTY AND THE BEAST all took to the stage of the Mary W. Sommervold Hall and amazed audiences with a very diverse spectrum of what Broadway has to offer. Dance company, Philadanco, also made a stop in Sioux Falls with their electrifying fusion of cultural dance and modern storytelling.
