Robin Hood: May 5-8 2016

By

On April 26, 2016

In 2015-2016 Season, All Performances

A hysterical, sprawling, action-packed drama that challenges and reinvents the myth. Includes a wise-cracking, superior swords person in Marian, and a Robin who only by chance finds himself a hero. But true to the legend, of course, all ends well: The Sheriff’s scheme to wed and bed young Ellen fizzles, King John’s vicious taxes are rescinRobinHood_Posterded, the Sherwood Foresters are finally legitimized, and a justice descends on England’s green and pleasant land.

May 5-7 at 7pm and May 8 at 2pm

Tickets at the door: $5 seniors/students, $10 general public

Norwood Stage Arts is …

... a community of students, volunteers, and theatre professionals who come together to develop new works as well as published/produced works and experiment with both innovative and traditional approaches to productions, all the while forging and gaining understanding of the collaborative process with each new project. We foster artistic development, creativity, and a disciplined, dedicated work ethic to provide our students with skills they can apply in any future initiative.

Staging 8-10 productions each year, from musicals to festival competitions to staged readings, participants take part in all aspects of theatrical productions, from stage design and building to sound and multimedia design to acting and directing and playwriting.

In 2014, our students voted to rename ourselves from Norwood Drama to Norwood Stage Arts to reflect the breadth of activities our students become involved in, both on and off the stage.
