Light Opera Works will present Lerner and Loewe's musical CAMELOT June 1-10, at Cahn Auditorium in Evanston. A 29-piece orchestra playing the original Broadway orchestrations accompanies a 31-member cast led by award-winning actor Nick Sandys.

Casting for CAMELOT includes Nick Sandys (Arthur), Jennie Sophia (Guenevere), William Travis Taylor (Lancelot), Skip Lundby (Pellinore), Michael Harnichar (Merlyn), Patrick Tierney (Mordred) and Patrice Egelston (Morgan Le Fey).
The design/production team includes Adam Veness (scenic), Jeff Hendry (costume), Sienna Kusek (hair and make-up), Andrew Meyers (lighting) and Paige Keedy (production manager).
The opening night reception for CAMELOT is sponsored by Whole Foods Market Evanston.
