Stageloft Repertory Theater announces auditions for its June 2016 production of “Spamalot” by Eric Idle and John DuPrez.

No appointments are necessary for the auditions, which are being held at Stageloft’s home at 450A Main Street, Sturbridge.

The audition schedule is as follows:

Monday, Feb. 15 — 7 p.m.
Tuesday, Feb. 16 — 7 p.m.

“Spamalot” is being directed by Kevin McGerigle, with Leah Marley as music director and Jackie Johnson handling choreography. The show will run from June 3 to June 26, with Friday and Saturday performances at 8 p.m.; and Sundays at 2 p.m.

Their are roles available for more than 15 men and seven women, and all are open. Auditions will consist of a brief movement audition. Choreography will be taught first at 7 p.m., followed by cold readings from the script (which will be provided at the audition) and individual singing.

Singers are asked to prepare 16 to 32 measures of a song they feel showcases them well vocally. If singing a selection from the “Spamalot” score, no sheet music is necessary. If singing something from outside the show, please bring the sheet music for your audition song in the appropriate key. We are unable to provide transposition.

Roles are as follows, with age ranges in parentheses:

King Arthur (age late 30s to 60s): The King of England who sets out on a quest to form the Knights of the Round Table and find the Holy Grail. Great Humor. Good singer.

Sir Robin (age 30s to 40s): A Knight of the Round Table. Ironically called “Sir Robin the Brave,” though he couldn’t be more cowardly. Joins the Knights for the singing and dancing. Also plays Guard 1 and Brother Maynard, a long-winded monk.

Sir Lancelot (age 30s to 40s): A Knight of the Round Table. He is fearless to a bloody fault but through a twist of fate, discovers his “softer side.” This actor MUST be great with character voices and accents, as he also plays The French Taunter, an arrogant, condescending, over-the-top Frenchman; the Knight of Ni, an absurd, cartoonish leader of a peculiar group of Knights; and Tim the Enchanter, a ghostly being with a Scottish accent.

Patsy (age 30s to 40s): King Arthur’s horse and servant. Under-appreciated but always longing for King Arthur’s approval. Good, funny, physical mover with some tap dancing. Also plays Mayor, a jolly red-faced man who advertises the merits of his home town and the drunken, useless Guard 2.

Sir Galahad (age in 30s): A Knight of the Round Table. Begins as Dennis, a lower-class “mud gatherer” who becomes knighted and transforms into the dashing Sir Galahad. Also plays Prince Herbert’s Father, a wealthy, brutish Yorkshireman man at odds with his sensitive son, The Black Knight, who is always ready to duel despite multiple injuries. Strong bari-tenor singing required.

Sir Bedevere (age 20s to 40s): A Knight of the Round Table. An inept scholar. Also plays Dennis Galahad’s Mother, a shrill peasant woman, and Concorde, Sir Lancelot’s horse. No solo singing.

The Lady of the Lake (age 20s to 30s): A diva. Strong, beautiful, and possesses mystical powers. The leading lady of the show. Great singing voice is essential, as she must be able to sing effortlessly in many styles and vocal registers.

The Following roles will be played by the same actor. Tenor singing required. Very good mover:

Historian: A tweedy academic.
Not Dead Fred: A sickly little fellow who, despite others’ beliefs, claims he is “not yet dead.”
French Guard: The condemnatory French sidekick to the French Taunter.
Minstrel: In Sir Robin’s band.
Prince Herbert: The hopeful and frilly prince who loves to sing and pines for his love atop a tower.

Ensemble: Six men and six women.
