INDIANAPOLIS – There will be many knights to remember this fall when Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre celebrates the 50th anniversary of Broadway’s classic Camelot. This magical musical with a stirring score is live on stage Sept. 7 through Oct. 10.
Based on the T.H. White Arthurian fantasy novel “The Once and Future King,” Camelot tells the famous tale of King Arthur, his queen Guenevere, Merlyn the magician, Lancelot and the Knights of the Round Table. King Arthur has an idealistic vision of harmony and justice in his enchanted Camelot, but it is destroyed by the misplaced passion, greed and jealousy of those in his kingdom. Ultimately he is forced to choose: fight or forgive.
Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre’s own Douglas E. Stark stars as the legendary King Arthur, while Krista Severeid plays Queen Guenevere with Tony Lawson in the role of Lancelot and Jeff Stockberger as Merlyn. The show is directed by Eddie Curry, with musical direction by Terry Woods and choreography by Doug King.
Book and lyrics are by Alan Jay Lerner, with music by Frederick Loewe.
There are 39 performances of Camelot scheduled in the intimate space of Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre. Tickets range from $35 to $58, and include Chef Odell Ward’s specially prepared buffet, with a fruit & salad bar, unlimited coffee, tea and lemonade. Parking is free.
For reservations, call the Beef & Boards Box Office at 317.872.9664. Box office hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays.

Always… Patsy Cline is based on the actual friendship the singer had with a fan named Louise Seger. After a chance meeting before Patsy Cline performed at a Houston honky tonk, the two became fast friends and pen pals.
