Auditions Announced for CAMELOT at Dayton Playhouse

DPH_logoCAMELOT is the timeless legend of King Arthur brought to the stage. Based on the classic work The Once and Future King, CAMELOT was a successful Broadway show before being turned into a musical movie in 1967. The story begins with a young Arthur nervous to meet his new wife, Guenevera. Before disappearing forever, Merlin offers some last advice, and Arthur sets out to build the ideal society of knights. With the help of Guenevera, Lancelot, and Pellinore, Arthur begins his quest to establish the knights of the round table. However, it’s not long before old sins and new betrayals threaten to undo all the things they’ve built. This musical blends humor with drama in a wonderful story of chivalry and the legacy we leave behind.
