Menlo Upper School’s drama department presents Spamalot as its annual Outdoor Spring Musical this year. More than fifty Upper School Menlo students comprise the cast and crew for this hilarious Broadway hit musical.

“This is purely comical insanity!” declared Elizabeth Orr, Menlo’s Drama teacher and the Director of the show. “We’ve been having a lot of fun rehearsing it, even though the audience will never know how much work the cast and crew put in to learn all of the songs and dances, set up the stage and lights, gather the props and costumes.”

Also plays Saturday and Sunday. Tickets are $8 for students, $10 for adults. For more information, visit http://­www.­menlo­school.­org.
