**CAMELOT OPENS FEBRUARY 12**

The entire community of Camelot awaits the arrival of Guenevere, King Arthur of England's future Queen. A nervous Arthur tries to cajole Merlyn to tell him about her. Merlyn knows the future as he lives from the future into the present, youthening instead of aging.  Upon her arrival Guenevere dodges the awaiting crowds and hides in the forest, where she and Arthur accidentally meet and are charmed with each other. Arthur, played by Dan Kluth, grows through the love of Queen Guenevere, and conceives the idea of a round table where knights will sit who practice a new concept of chivalry. These knights are charged with improving rather than destroying, with redressing past wrongs and aiding the oppressed. Lancelot of France, played by Adam Somers, heeds the call to this Round Table and arrives in Camelot, dedicating his life to the quest for perfection in body and spirit. When he arrives, he meets Guenevere, played by Janet Barton, at a May Day outing. Others in the cast include Lee Harwell as Pellinore, the comic old knight in rusty armor; Trina Williamson as Morgan Le Fey; and Stan Creswell as Arthur's evil son, Mordred. The part of Merlyn is portrayed by William "Gabby" Garrison, and the three strongest knights, Sir Dinadan, Sir Sagramore, and Sir Lionel, are played by Joe Connors, Gary Spees, and Kim Parvin. Other knights and ladies of the court include: Rachel Adkins, Carol Chollar, Kelly Cliber, Dan Duryea, Eric Engelhard, Melissa Kelf, Steve Lager, Grant Lott, Jennifer Matan, Lucas Meyer, Evelyn Panfili, Darrell Parvin, Denise Peterson, Adam Salazar, Kiran Spees, Terah Vigil, and Phil Welch.

This production is directed by Randy Powell, who directed CSTOCK's production of Big River and BCT's The Music Man. The music is under the direction of Gwen Adams, who directed Oliver at CSTOCK this past fall. The set was designed and built by Jerry Smith, and the lighting was designed and set by Arnold Lozano. Costumes for the Royal Court have been created and coordinated by Kathy Kershaw and Marge Kluth, and Sally Richardson provided props. Stage management for this major production will be handled by Lorene Leider.
