The 5th Avenue Theatre presents
The Rising Star Project: Spamalot
An All-State All-Student Presentation
On The 5th Avenue Stage
Lovingly ripped off from the motion picture Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Book and Lyrics by Eric Idle; Music by Eric Idle; John Du Prez, and Neil Innes
3 Performances Only! March 14 and 15, 2014
WHAT: After The 5th Avenue Theatre wraps up its professional production of Monty
Python’s Spamalot, the curtain will rise again for an all-student production,
featuring nearly 100 students from across Washington State. The Rising Star
Project: Spamalot is not only a brilliant artistic collaboration between some of the
area’s most promising up-and-coming young talent, but an educational program
unlike any other in the country. Teen performers have the opportunity to rehearse
with sets and costumes from the mainstage production as they learn the
responsibilities of working in a professional theater. Meanwhile, students produce,
develop, and market the student production under the mentorship of The 5th
Avenue staff. Through the Rising Star Project: Spamalot, students passionate
about musical theater are able to gain first-hand experience in the process of
staging a professional musical, and are given the opportunity to celebrate their
cumulative experience in three public performances on the legendary 5th Avenue
mainstage.
