Why we do it!!
This is Emily. Like many girls her age she enjoys playing with friends, running, jumping, dancing. But Emily is now blocked from doing many of the things a girl of eleven should be able to do. Indeed from many of the things you and I take for granted. Emily has a neurological condition called Reflexive Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD). This condition makes it feel, in Emily's words, "...like molten lava is being poured on my legs." The pain of this condition is excruciating and constant. Simple movement becomes nearly impossible, and even the slight touch of bed sheets can be unbearable. Emily has been battling this condition, as well as the rehabilitation of a paralyzed leg, for six months. The medical costs are staggering. That's why we are having this benefit for Emily and her family. Please help us to help them, and have a fun time doing it. For more information visit Emily's website at (http://getemilywalking.blogspot.com/)

Some very nice things that people in very high places are saying about SPAMALOT.
"There is nothing wrong with a show that wants to do no more than entertain people and make them laugh. While so many musical comedies fall short in these goals, Monty Pythons SPAMALOT unquestionably delivers the goods." -
Mark Andrew Laurance, BroadwayWorld.com
"I was laughing most of the time - not so much that it ever hurt my sides, but I don't think a smile ever left my face for very long either" -
John Olsen, Talkin Broadway
Winner of the 2005 Tony Award for Best Musical, Monty Python's SPAMALOT is the outrageous new musical comedy lovingly ripped off from the film classic "Monty Python and The Holy Grail." Directed by Tony Award Winner Mike Nichols, with a book by Eric Idle and music and lyrics by the Grammy Award -winning team of Mr. Idle and John Du Prez, SPAMALOT tells the tale of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table as they embark on thier quest for the Holy Grail. Flying cows, killer rabbits, taunting Frenchmen and show stopping musical numbers are just a few of the reasons audiences everywhere are eating up SPAMALOT.
