The Duluth Playhouse's 2021-22 season includes the musical comedy that was audience-ready in March 2020 when theaters across the country were shuttered to slow the spread of COVID-19.
"Monty Python's Spamalot," which opens Sept. 16, is the first show of the season, the theater company announced in an email to season ticket holders. There are six shows scheduled for the theater's mainstage, the NorShor, six for the Family Theatre located at The Depot, and six at The Underground, which leans more experimental.
