Camelot in rehearsals at Peacock Playhouse
Hayesville, NC theater scene

The same team who brought the highly successful Sound of Music to the Peacock Playhouse last summer has returned to work their magic this year with Camelot.

Nancy Davis and Paul Dyer are already hard at work. Camelot will run Judging from last year, you'd better get your tickets as soon as possible so you won't be left out. Last summer there were some disappointed people who could not get tickets for the sold out performances.

Camelot is the story of King Arthur, Queen Guinevere, and Sir Lancelot and the Knights of the Round Table. The successful Broadway play and movie has the beautiful music of Lerner and Loewe. Julie Andrews, Richard Burton, and Robert Goulet played the major roles on Broadway.

The production has a cast of 25 actors and 7 orchestra members, plus many helpers for set build- ing, painting, costumes, lighting, backstage. Many counties are represented. Some of the actors from The Sound of Music have returned. Brian Barrentine who played Captain Von Trappe will be playing Sir Lancelot. Katherine Byxbee, Stephanie Fiscarelli, Karl Snow, and Jesse Somervill also return this summer to join the cast. King Arthur will be played by Dennis Muron who was in this year's Romantic Comedy and last season's Miracle on 34th Street. He is joined in Camelot by his children, Savannah and John- Vincent. Whitney Harrell from Franklin will play Guinevere. She appeared as Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz and in last season's Harvey. Also in Harvey was Chris Evans of Franklin who returns as Mordred.
