AGM 2020
The 2020 AGM will take place via Zoom on Tuesday 13th October from 7.30pm. Agenda is attached, if you would like to attend online please email chair@taosmusicaltheatre for link.
November 2020 production
Given the current uncertainty over amateur theatre in the foreseeable future the committee has made the decision to postpone the November 2020 show “The Sound of Music” until November 2021. This is obviously very disappointing for everybody but we feel it is the most sensible plan at this time.
The plan at present is for “Shrek – The Musical” to be performed on 25-30th May 2021 and “The Sound of Music” on 23-27 November 2021. We will of course update on rehearsal dates nearer the time.
Shrek – May 2020
It is with deep sadness that we have had to cancel the May 2020 production of Shrek. We are still working on securing new dates for the performances. Those who have booked directly through TicketSource will be getting an email and refund. Thank you for your support, as soon as we have news on the revised dates we will open the bookings again and hope to see you there!

| Lovingly ripped off from the hugely successful 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Spamalot is a riotous comedy full of misfit knights, killer rabbits, dancing nuns and ferocious Frenchmen. Join King Arthur as he travels with his hapless Knights of the Round Table on a divine mission to locate the elusive Holy Grail – with uproarious consequences.
Winner of the 2005 Tony Award for Best New Musical the hilarious Spamalot was written by Python legend Eric Idle, with a fantastic score co-written by John DuPrez including Always Bright Side of Life Recommended Age : 12 and over |
Spamalot! First Rehearsal and Auditions
presents
Monty Python’s Spamalot gallops into the Arc Theatre (to the sound of banging coconut shells).
Spamalot is an uproariously witty spoof of King Arthur and his knights’ quest for the Holy Grail boasts a high-kicking knights’ chorus line, killer rabbits, and a knight who continues dueling even after losing his arms and legs. All the hilarities of Monty Python and the Holy Grail are even funnier set to the rollicking music of the Round Table Knights and the mysterious, definitively diva Lady of the Lake.
Rehearsals for this new production, directed by Phil Courage with Musical Direction by Helen Heaton will start on Tuesday 5th and Wednesday 6th September at the Arc Theatre, with auditions being held on Sunday 10th from 2pm.
For more details please email us (contact details here) or contact us via social media, or just come along to the first rehearsal!
