Janus Concert Series is casting all roles for a staged concert production of Camelot (the musical) by Alan Jay Learner and Frederick Loewe. The production will incorporate non-traditional casting to tell the story of King Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot, and their idyllic Camelot. The musical has two contrasting acts and lots of characters. Act I is full of satire and light-hearted romance while Act II presents darker themes and focuses on complicated relationships amidst the fall of an empire.
Company Mission:
To re-examine and challenge established traditions in opera and musical theater and bridge the gap between them, finding new ways to tell old stories in order to build audiences through exposure and entertainment.
