Auditions for St. Clair Theatre Guild’s Spring production of Camelot will be on Monday and Tuesday, March 5th and 6th at 7:00 pm at the SCTG building in Klecha Park. Roles are available for men and women and one young boy aged 10 to 12.

Main Characters:

King Arthur: As the play begins he is a boyish and enthusiastic young king, but matures as the play progresses.  Acting extremely more important than the singing voice as songs can be staged as “talk/sung”  like Richard Burton and Rex Harrison.

Guenevere: Very young and romantic when first seen but she also matures and develops into a great lady.  Must be able to sing well!

Lancelot: Handsome, heroic  type who is very egotistical and into himself!  Must be able to sing well!

Pellinore: A man in old rusty, clanky armor who is an old King.  He is the comic relief of the show, great character part!

Mordred: Arthur’s bastard son who is the villain of the show that ultimately is the cause of the fall of the knights of the Round Table.  A young man, he has an “impish” side of  him as seen when he is with Morgan LeFey. Must be able to sing.

Morgan LeFey:  Another sorceress, very attractive, who lives in the enchanted forest of Camelot. She sides with Mordred against Arthur. Very seductive and must be able to sing.

Merlyn:  The wise magician who has tutored  Arthur through his life and whom Arthur relies for guidance and adice.  But early in the show, he is striped of his powers by the sorceress, Nimue.

Nimue:  The invisible sorceress that is only seen as a bright light, must have a beautiful singing voice.

There are also knights and ladies that will have lines and all must be able sing in the chorus numbers.

Production dates are May 10th, 11th and 12th at the East China Performing Arts Center.  7:30 p.m. each evening.

Rehearsals tentatively set for Mondays, Thursdays, and Sunday afternoons. Any questions please contact Director Sue Daniels at (810) 329-4498.

Auditions for “Cabaret” will be held at 7:00 pm on both Monday, January 23rd and Tuesday, January 24th,  at the SCTG’s building.  This year’s theme is “Movies”.  Bring a song if you have one — if not, one will be provided for you.  The performance date for “Cabaret” is March 10, 2012.
