Spring Play A lo F th Cedarville's theatre department has always been known for its spectacular spring productions, and this year was different in only one regard: they excelled above and beyond that which they had ever done before. Camelot, starring a cast and crew of hundreds,opened to an audience that,as reflected in nine performances in just two short weekends,was very excited. "The cast was very talented," commented Tiena Britton, a junior. "I was impressed." Many were impressed and for good reason For one thing, the story of Camelotis a classic Most people know the tale of the young boy Arthur who pulled the sword from a stone to rule the kingdom where the sun always shines, his round table of gallant knights,including the honorable Sir Lancelot,the sorcerer Merlin,and the arranged marriage with the beautiful Guinevere that ultimately ends in tragedy? As if the story itself weren't enough,the cast and crew only added to the spectacle With the elaborate set that constantly changed from old castle ruins, to a throne room, to a May fair, a live orchestra pit; songs and dancing; and colorful costumes, the theatre department truly outdid itself. And they had a good time doing so During the very last performance, they added some unexpected surprises to the scenes, including a squire and a page betting over the outcome of the knights and a kiss from two background lovers during Guinevere's praying scene. Said sophomore Colin Luther, who played Squire Dap,"It was a joy to be involved with Camelot because I got to meet a lot of new people and dress up like the knight from White Castle." Indeed, Camelotwas bound to take anyone in Konrad Neumann acts as Merlyn. "I enjoyed the people that I worked with during the play. Robby Pellinore and I would run around backstage, yelling at each other in our old men characters' costumes," Neumann said. • On stage, Amanda Lucanni acts as Guenevere "I enjoyed the part of the Play the comic upperhand. As bad as it sounds, it was quite amusing to make fun 0' 254 Spring
