The Far, Far Away Kingdom is in danger! In this original production, the evil Sheriff of Nottingham has been stealing from the poor townspeople. Now it’s up to Robin Hood and his right hand man, Little John (with some help from the audience) to stop the Sheriff and save the lovely Maid Marian before she has to marry the no-good Nottingham!

The production is designed to be interactive with the audience and best suited for children ages 3-10. Weekday shows are great for school groups, care centers and home schoolers.

The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood
a play by Mary Lynn Dobson

It sure is hard to be humble when you're a swashbuckling, egocentric super-hero. But our gallant guy-in-green tries his best as he swaggers through The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood, a frantically funny, Monty Pythonesque retelling of the classic. This time around, the legendary legend, in his never-ending quest to aid the needy, encounters a lovely damsel-in-distress (oddly obsessed with skin conditions); an ever-scheming sheriff who would rather bowl a strike than hit a bulls eye; a gold-hoarding, bad-guy monarch wannabe; and a good-natured "Town's Guy" who manages to make his way into every scene, whether he belongs there or not. Combine them with an expandable band of spoon-wielding Merry Men whose collective IQs equal six, and you've got an irreverent jaunt through Sherwood Forest you won't soon forget!

RUNS JULY 24-25 at 7:00pm, with a JULY 25 matinee at 2:30.
TICKETS $10 adults, $8 children under 12, students, seniors.
