On their quest, the knights encounter many eccentric characters including the Black Knight, the intimate Lady of the Lake and Tim the Enchanter.

“Spamalot” is directed by Heather Williams-Williams. This production serves as an acting capstone for THAD students Marley Benedum (Ensemble) and Adam Calcagno (Sir Lancelot). Rebekah Bailey will complete her capstone as the stage manager for the production.
