In February 2014, The 5th Avenue Theatre will present the much-loved musical Monty Python’s Spamalot. In March, following the professional production, local students (ages 14-19) will work together to mount an all-student production of Spamalot on the 5th Avenue stage using the same staging, props, set and costumes as the professional production. Proudly presented by The Sheri and Les Biller Family Foundation, the Rising Star Project production will be entirely student-performed and will be run by a student technical crew under the mentorship and guidance of theater professionals. The production will be coordinated, marketed, developed and produced by a student administrative team under the coaching of 5th Avenue Theatre staff. Through this project, a collective of students with diverse interests will meet and work together with the singular goal of creating a musical for the historic 5th Avenue stage. Students will be immersed in authentic experiences, gain an appreciation for collaboration, and will develop real-world skills used by theater professionals. Important Dates:
