SIGNATURE SERIES PERFORMANCES

An FYT Original Production...
ARTHUR, KING OF BRITAIN
July 18 – August 9
Ages 10 and up
Written and Directed
by William P. Ward
Choreographed by Margaret A. Mead-Finizio

This is the story of Arthur of the Round Table—at once familiar but at the same time made new.  We have never known this Camelot, this Lancelot, this Guinevere, yet we are persuaded of their actual existence in a dark and turbulent world of war, sorcery, of Druid priestesses and Christian abbots, of wandering outlaws, bards and knights.  Here are the Arthurian myths opened up to reveal their historical truths.  A story so ancient only legend can record its origin.
Advance tickets:  $14 adults, $12 children
Day of performance tickets:  $16 tickets, $14 children
