Fall/Winter 2019
The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood
By Mary Lynn Dobson
The classic story of Robin Hood as told by youth actors. A frantically funny, Monty Python-esque retelling of the tale. The legendary legend encounters a lovely damsel-in-distress (oddly obsessed with skin conditions); a bowling champion sheriff, a monarch wannabe, and a band of spoon-wielding Merry Men whose collective IQs equal six.
Available student matinee dates:
Friday September 13th, Monday September 16th, Tuesday September 17th, Wednesday September 18th, Thursday September 19th, Friday September 20th
