Maplewood Barn Community Theatre holds Monty Python fundraiser

In 1975, a band of Brits went questing after ever-elusive comedic treasure. With “Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” they discovered it, and their medieval-themed mirthfest became part of a comedy canon for generations.

In screening the film last Sunday, the thespians behind Maplewood Barn Community Theatre came a little closer to fulfilling a quest of their own. The group hosted a Monty Python quote-a-long at The Blue Note in hopes of raising additional funds for the new facility it hopes to construct. The screening raised approximately $1,700, Maplewood board member Lee Wilkins Black confirmed in an email this week.
