Review: cast of Spamalot impressed

Dale Terry/special to the VW independent

Monty Python’s Spamalot was the first of many performances of the AYAT group (adolescent young adult theatre) at the Van Wert Civic Theatre. Director Griffen Waltmire had his crew of Knights and Merry Men ready to entertain from beginning to end.

The show was filled with uproarious humor, catchy tunes brought to you by the talented Perri Webb, and outstanding performances by the talented cast. From the witty dialogue to the hilarious dance numbers choreographed by the exceptional Emily Gehle, it kept the audience entertained and laughing throughout the entire performance.

The set design and costumes added a colorful and whimsical touch, creating a fantastic atmosphere. It was a night of pure entertainment, and I couldn’t stop smiling from start to finish. It was a side-splittingly funny and entertaining evening at the Van Wert Civic Theatre.
