ROBIN HOOD

BY GREG BANKS

Our first production is "Robin Hood", on Saturday Oct. 22. Good and evil take center stage as Robin Hood and his merry band of underground heroes rally to support those who cannot fight for themselves. Full of sword fights and wordplay, ROBIN HOOD is a high-powered, action-packed adventure.

“Being a movement-based director, I loved this script because of the potential for physicality, including a large amount of stage combat and visual storytelling,” says Director of Education and Community Engagement Daunielle Rasmussen, who is directing ROBIN HOOD. “I also love that our Maid Marian can hold her own with a bow. She’s no one’s damsel in distress, and I’m excited for the effect that will have on our version of the story.”

The ROBIN HOOD cast includes Richard Buchanan (Sheriff/King Richard/Soldier 3), George Bull (Prince John/Will Scarlett/Soldier 1/Little John/Friar Tuck), Candice Handy (Much/Maid Marian) and Taha Mandviwala (Robin Hood/Marian’s Dad/Soldier 2), all members of the Playhouse’s 2016-17 Bruce E. Coyle Acting Intern Company. Along with Rasmussen, the production team includes set designer Kenton Brett, costume designer Melanie Mortimore, sound designer Trey Tatum, fight director Gina Cerimele-Mechley and stage manager Tracy Hoida.
