Janus Concert Series
Camelot

Pay: Stipend

Description:

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.
