The Missoula Community Theatre proudly presents Camelot, based on T. H. White's classic novel, The Once and Future King. Directed by Joe Martinez, Camelot is an icon of the American musical theatre. King Arthur, a pupil of the wise wizard Merlin, weds the lovely Guinevere, knights Lancelot, and forms his round table for justice. Many well-loved songs such as, If Ever I Should Leave You, What Do the Simple Folk Do?, The Lusty Month of May, and How to Handle a Woman are all a part of this beautiful story. "When people hear Camelot," says Martinez, "they think of King Arthur's striving for beauty and equality. Our Camelot is much more about the ideals of those pursuits. There are so many elements within that make it real and not fairy tale. I'd like to push Camelot into the realm of more reality."
