The mythical kingdom of Camelot,
brought to the stage by
imaginative scenery and elaborate costumes,
provided the perfect setting for
the famed tale of King Arthur, his young
queen Guenevere, and the Knights of the Round Table.
Dealing with the serious theme
of the quest for right, honor, and justice,
the musical oroduction was the most dramatically
difficult one ever attempted by the varsity choir.
A 22-piece orchestra accompanied the choir and,
wit~
the help of eight backdrops
and nine trunks of costumes,
created the fanciful mood.
Comic relief in the form of
King Pellinore and his huge dog, Horrid,
heightened various scenes, while the glittering
pink tree emphasized the fairytale atmosphere.
Camelot, representing long weeks of hard work
by the principals, the varsity choir,
the art and shop departments,
the orchestra, and the stage crew,
delighted over two thousand.
