Capitol Theatre * 415 S. Main St.

Lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL, it’s 932 AD in England and King Arthur, joined by his servant Patsy, “ride” through the land trying to find men to join his Round Table. Arthur is frustrated by several failed recruitment attempts, including one with an awfully resilient Black Knight. He is finally joined by Sir Bedevere the Strangely Flatulent, Sir Lancelot the Brave (who is not yet dead), Sir Dennis Galahad the Handsome, Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-As-Sir-Lancelot and the aptly named Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Show. The Lady of the Lake encourages Arthur not to lose his way and the Knights set off on their quest. Along the way they meet Prince Herbert, a pyromaniac Enchanter called Tim, the Killer Rabbit of Antioch and Brother Maynard and the Monks.

This endowed scholarship fund was started by friends of Donald H. Hall to honor him as a stalwart theater arts supporter in Aberdeen. He was co-founder of ACT 2, Inc. and without Don there would be no Aberdeen Community Theatre.

Northern State University (NSU) and the community, working together, started a theater program in 1979 with students and interested individuals mounting one show each summer session.

To reflect the relationship between NSU and ACT started by Donald H. Hall, the following are requirements of the scholarship: ACT or ACT/Young People’s Theatre experience, onstage or backstage, previous to the school year the scholarship is awarded is a prerequisite to receive it; and attendance at NSU for the school year this scholarship is awarded is a prerequisite for receiving it.
