Python and the Holy Grail", Book & Lyrics by Eric Idle, Music by John du
Prez & Eric Idle

Roles to be cast
***Please note: In the spirit of the original film, all roles will be
'as cast' and all performers will play multiple roles***

a quest to form the Knights of the Roundtable and find the Holy Grail.
Great Humor. Good singer.
.	SIR ROBIN (30s-40s): A Knight of the Roundtable. Ironically

the Knights for the singing and dancing.

fearless to a bloody fault but through a twist of fate, does discover
his 'softer side.' This actor MUST be great with character voices and
accents.

scholar. 
.	MALE & FEMALE ENSEMBLE.

father, but dad is not interested.  As they silently clean out the

alike than they thought.  Featuring the music of Dolly Parton, Kenny

the breakdown of her marriage, she yearns to come back home and build a

or the choices she has made.  

BACK IN 59

from their 10th  high school reunion and broken into their old hangout.
As they contemplate their lives and the future, the four look back upon
their high school years and remember the music of their youth.  What
follows is a rollicking non-stop journey through over sixty top-ten hits
from 1959 through 1963.

an ability to dance well and an ear for harmonies***

ad in the newspaper. Nina and Matt are coaxed into joining their friends
for support. High romance and contagious laughter are the result.
