Spamalot

Ever seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail? You know, the comedy classic that retells the legend of King Arthur and his search of the Holy Grail. The one that displays no shortage of nonsensical spoofs, preposterous fart jokes, and zany insults. The one that, despite its absurd appraisal of 5th-century history, has acquired a fantastic cluster of fans.

The Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre has taken it upon themselves to bring this entertaining film to a whole new level. Spamalot, as they've dubbed their musical based on the comedic masterpiece, will be playing July 26-29 and August 2-5. The show isn't exactly appropriate for the young'uns, but the Coeur d'Alene Theatre assures that children 13 and older should be alright.

Because of the popularity, tickets aren't cheap: $40 for adults, $36 for seniors, and $26 for appropriately-aged children. But we've been promised it's worth it. If you need more proof, check out the Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre here!

"Comedy as Commentary" with Steve Almond, Jess Walter, and Sharma Shields

Shawn Vestal, a reporter for the Spokesman Review and author of Godforsaken, Idaho will be moderating the "Comedy as Commentary" panel at EWU during this year's Get Lit! Festival.

Steve Almond, author of God Bless America, Jess Walter, author of Beautiful Ruins, and Sharma Shields, author of Favorite Monster, will be discussing how a well-timed joke can reveal more than a reader expects. Humor can illustrate a character's deepest flaw, question a society's standards, or expose a culture's most veiled conflict.

No writer should miss out on this fun and informative panel!
