"Don't let it be forgot
That once there was a spot
For one bright shining moment
That was known as Camelot!"
Camelot at Exit 7 Players
Here are photos from the 1985 production of the musical Camelot, by the Exit 7 Players, in Ludlow, Massachusetts. Much of the armor and costuming was in co-operation with the local Shire (now Barony) of Bergental, of the Society for Creative Anachronism. The photos are aged and unretouched, but through their dim vision comes back many happy memories of a huge effort with many friends.

Just before the final, fatal battle, King Arthur knights young Sir Tom and sends him to perform the tale of Camelot everywhere, thus ensuring the survival of

Backstage: banners, racks of costumes, even a fireplace!
