Spamalot Young @ Part follows Arthur, his trusty servant Patsy (armed with a calvary of coconuts), and a band of knights as they embark on a quest for the Holy Grail. As they travel throughout "a very expansive forest", they encounter The Lady of the Lake, The Knights Who Say Ni, a killer rabbit, plaque victims, and- worst of all- frenchman. This show features some of Broadways most beloved ballads, including "The Song That Goes Like This", and "Find Your Grail". Join this positively medieval cast- while you're not dead- yet!

Performers under age 18 who are cast will pay $200 tuition to cover 40+ hours of instruction in singing, dancing, and acting. Tuition also to helps to pay for the many expenses of costumes, scenery and royalties.
The fee can be paid in two installments, with the first half of the tuition due at the Read Thru on May 14. The second installment is due on June 11.
No performer who is cast in the show will be turned away because of their inability to pay tuition. Agape works with performers to gain the scholarship aid necessary for them to participate.
