Wego Drama continues their season with the hysterical farce Monty Python’s “Spamalot.” A show that is “lovingly ripped off” from “Monty Python and The Holy Grail.”

This satirical musical is full of laughs as King Arthur assembles his Knights of the Table. From there, they set off to find the Holy Grail. Will they find it? Will they survive? Why is there a giant rabbit on stage? That is the mystery and why the show fits with Wego Drama’s theme, “Life is a Mystery.”

Performances will be at 7 p.m. Thursday to Saturday, April 23-25, at West Chicago Community High School, 326 Joliet St. in West Chicago.

The company of actors, musicians, and crew for the show includes: from Carol Stream: Abigail Ballard, Alex Durkin, and Mason Mullen; from West Chicago: Alex Aguilar, Aaron Alvarado, Henry Balgeman, Damien Barrera, Jacob Benitez, Josie Bryson, Lizet Calderon, Charlotte Conger, Jordin Crudup, Mikey Godwin, Alex Jacobo, Matthew Krysinski, Millie Mora-Zarco, Jayden Morales, Elisa O’Brien, Valerie Penny, Angelyn Puentes, Jairo Reyes, Nick Risconsciuto, Oliver Ruiz, Lincoln Sampson, Eric Sikma, Hailey Teran, Gabriel Valenzuela, Nathan Valenzuela, and Mary Wagner; and from Winfield: Nick Jimenez, Tim Kotke, and Ja’Nyah Villa.

“Monty Python’s Spamalot” has music by John Du Prez and Eric Idle, and book and lyrics are by Idle.

Produced by arrangement with Theatrical Rights Worldwide, New York from the original screenplay by Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin.

It is rated PG-13. “Monty Python’s Spamalot” is a satire and uses language that may not be suitable for young children.
