Swamp Meadow Presents Get Merry!
December 6, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Get Merry! An Engaging Medieval Winter Solstice Revel is an original play written by Liz Goulet Dubois and Bob Hollis. Originally staged in 2010, with a successful sequel in 2011, we’re finally bringing the Royal Fool Caps out again for a revival!
The story follows Prince Melvin, who has fallen in love with the Royal Hairdresser, Merry. The Queen, less than thrilled with his choice of bride, employs one of the Royal Fools to foil the engagement. Along the way, they meet singers, dancers, and many other talents (and “talents”) to contribute to the Royal Engagement Party. Will the Queen get her way? Or will Melvin get Merry in the end?
Get Merry is half-variety show, half-medieval sitcom. We want to showcase local singers, musicians, dancers, and other performing artists during our show… along with some hilarious not-so-great “acts” like candle making and failing to juggle.
