Sentinel photos and video by Harrison Keely Plus: Browse hundreds of photos from every Licklog show in history 'Camelot' an adventure to behold
Directed by Nancy Davis, "Camelot" opened last weekend to an enthusiastic audience reception.
Dennis Muron's King Arthur evolves from an unsure but highminded young king into the famed King Arthur of the Round Table. He believes in might for right not might is right. What ultimately happens to his noble cause holds the audience's interest from beginning to end. Muron develops his character beautifully and makes the audience care. Whitney Harrell as Queen Guenevere is lovely on the stage as she grows from a scared and reluctant young bride to a Queen torn by duty and love. Hopefully, the Licklog Players will be able to enjoy her excellent voice and delightful stage presence in many more productions. Brian Barrentine is simply wonderful as Sir Lancelot. His voice is excellent, and his "If Ever I Would Leave You" is as good as it gets. In his portrayal of Sir Lancelot he finds the humor in the all too perfect Knight and the deep emotion in an all too human one. What a talent!
Herb Silbert as King Pellinore is endearing and funny. From his entrance with the scene stealing Rosie, the dog, to the end of the play he has the audience with him.
Chris Evans gives a strong performance as the villain, Mordred. He also is a fine singer as is evident in his "Seven Deadly Virtues." He is a versatile young talent who will hopefully return to the Licklog Players in future productions. Visually the play is delightful to watch - from the artistic backdrops to the fantastic enchanted tree to the gorgeous costumes that took hours and hours of hard work and planning. There are many others who deserve praise such as the lovely Rivkah Holder with her exquisite voice as Nimue, Tom Paine as Merlin, Ashely Jones as Morgan LeFey, Karl Snow, Tommy Hughes, and Jesse Somervell as Knights of the Table, and two young actors, Zachary Jones as Tom of Warwick and Trevor Barber as the Page. The dancers and chorus round out a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Director Davis has a real gift for bringing creative and audience pleasing musicals filled with talented actors to the Peacock Playhouse Don't miss this production.
