By: Ali Leskowitz Jun. 22, 2009
TACTA (Tulsa Area Community Theatre Alliance) announces updates for EXCALIBUR!, auditions for THE WIZARD OF OZ, and the New Playwright's Forum.
Spotlight Children's Theater is proud to present EXCALIBUR!: The Story of Young King Arthur by Michele L. Vacca, a drama based on the ancient British legend of King Arthur, directed by Catherine Christie. Join us for this lighthearted look at the life of Arthur (Shawn Fisher) before he became the famed King of Camelot. See Merlin (Tyler Robins) in all his magic and mystery and discover how Arthur came to be in the care of Sir Ector (Clayton Bradshaw) and Lady Enid (Elizabeth Medrick). And, don't forget the villain. Morgan Le Fay (Kathryn Hartney), Arthur's own aunt and Merlin's former student, is going to do everything she can to thwart Merlin's plans for the young king.
