Old Schoolhouse Players present new take on ‘Robin Hood’
April 2
‘The Somewhat True Tales of Robin Hood’
The Old Schoolhouse Players debut its first production in its Children’s Theater Saturday Showcase with the comedy “The Somewhat True Tales of Robin Hood” in the Bud Allison Auditorium of the Mount Pleasant Community Center, Hickory. The show takes a few liberties with the classic tale such as using a bowling tournament to determine who wins Lady Marian’s hand in marriage. But because both the sheriff and Robin Hood seem evenly matched at bowling, Prince John decides to change the rules and make it an archery tournament. “It’s Monty Python for kids,” said director Tyler Smith. “It’s a family-friendly comedy with jokes both children and adults will get.”
Performances are at 2 p.m. Saturdays in April, beginning April 2. Popcorn will be available as well as snacks and drinks at intermission.
Tickets are $8 at the door and no reservations are required.
