Middle School Spring Musical: Monty Python's "Spamalot Jr."
Read MoreThursday, May 26th and Friday, May 27th
6:30-8:00 p.m.
San Anselmo Playhouse, 27 Kensington Road, San Anselmo
Tickets: $20 per person
PURCHASE TICKETSOnline ticket purchases will close at 10:00 p.m. the day before each performance. If you miss this deadline you are welcome to purchase tickets at the box office when you arrive. The Box Office will open 30 minutes before each performance.
Join our Sixth-Eighth Grade performers in our Spring Musical: Monty Python's "Spamalot Jr."
Lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail, this middle school adaptation of Monty Python's Spamalot retells the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. The 2005 Broadway production won three Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and was followed by two successful West End runs. The outrageous, uproarious, and gloriously entertaining story of King Arthur, the Lady of the Lake, and other intriguing characters, will give us all a good laugh as the actors search for the Holy Grail and “always look on the bright side of life.”
COVID-19 protocols for our performances:- Masks are strongly recommended.
- If on the day of the event you have a fever or cold flu-like symptoms, please do not attend the performance.
- Masks are strongly recommended.

Jesse Pearson's Recent Article in Independent School Magazine: Technology in the Classroom
Jesse Pearson, 8th Grade English Teacher & Advisor, High School Placement Counselor, and Director of Experiential Education, reflects on the technological tools that became essential during remote learning and what role they should play in the classroom, and our lives, today.Read More
"COVID-19 taught this generation that to be without technology is to be cut off from the world, from school and their friends, and from everything they value. It’s our job to teach them that that doesn’t have to be the case...It is OK for kids to learn that technology makes life easier. But we should not allow them to mistakenly think that it always makes life better."
