Director Austin Deppeler said it would be the first time on stage for some of the performers.
"They're keen to get into the theatre and for a vast majority it is their first time being exposed to something like this. It's massive," Mr Deppeler said.
"I am really pushing them to take pride in their own performance but also to remember that it's an opportunity to have fun with each other."
Mr Deppeler said only about six students had heard of Monty Python at the start of the production but that the comedy troupe had proved popular.
"It has then opened to other fields of British comedy like Fawlty Towers, The Goodies, The Two Ronnies and Mr Bean, which a few more students knew," he said.
"Monty Python grew a movement. They were the first group to experiment with this type of comedy.
"We thought about doing a production last year but couldn't quite get there. So we made the decision at the end of last year to commit to production and get it up and running."
CMC's Spamalot is on at Ulumbarra Theatre on June 9 and 10 form 7.30pm. Visit www.gotix.com.au for bookings.
