Fred Meyer Broadway In Boise has announced that Edsel Christensen (5th grader at Challenger School) and Mason Price (4th grader at Christine Donnell School of the Arts) have been cast as Tom of Warwick in the upcoming Boise engagement of the 2014/2015 National Tour of Lerner & Loewe's CAMELOT at the Morrison Center.

Tom of Warwick is a young boy destined to be a Knight. He wants to fight for what is right and gives Arthur hope for the future.

Edsel Christensen is a 5th grade student at Challenger School in Meridian. He will be performing the role of "Tom of Warwick" on January 5th and 7th. He got his start on the stage in Boise Music Week's 2012 Production of The King and I as one of the King's children. Then, in the 2013 production of South Pacific, he played the role of Jerome. Most recently, Edsel played the role of Louise in Opera Idaho's 2014 Production The King and I in Concert.

Mason Price is a 4th grade student at Christine Donnell School of the Arts. He will be performing the role of "Tom of Warwick" on January 6th. In the last 4 years he has been cast in Character Matters as baby bear, Wizard of Oz (twice) as a Flying monkey and munchkin, Christmas play as an engineer, Three as the Big Bad Wolf.

Both Edsel and Mason have participated in the Morrison Center Summer Performance Camps for the past three years. Both have had lead and featured roles in some of the productions.

"Providing children from our community with an opportunity to perform in a national touring production of this caliber is unique," said James Patrick, Executive Director of the Morrison Center. "We are always looking for new and exciting vehicles to engage children in the performing arts. Whether it be our annual Summer Performance Camps, Family Theatre Series or a chance to perform with professional actors in a Broadway musical like Camelot, involvement in the performing arts can change young lives and have a positive impact on their education and development."

The 2014/2015 National Tour of Lerner & Loewe's CAMELOT reimagines the classic tale of King Arthur, Guenevere and Lancelot and Boise can fall in love all over again with this beloved musical January 5-7, 2015 at the Morrison Center.
