This lively theatrical adventure shifts the spotlight to Marian, the clever and courageous woman who has been at the center of the story all along. Filled with humor, action, romance, and plenty of surprises, Marian, or the True Tale of Robin Hood, offers a playful new take on one of the world’s most enduring legends.
The production features the talented students of Maine West High School Theatre, who bring the characters, comedy, and adventure of Sherwood Forest to life onstage. With a running time under 90 minutes, audiences can expect a fast-paced theatrical experience filled with larger-than-life characters, unexpected twists, and plenty of fight choreography and swordplay. Please note that this performance is rated PG-13 as there are some adult themes that might be better suited for a more mature audience.
“This production is an excellent way to kick-off our season,” shares Maine West Fine Arts Teacher and Play Director David Harmon. “There are a plethora of featured roles that give several students a chance to spotlight their talents. Between the epic choreography, larger-than-life characters and topical themes around gender and representation, this story was the perfect choice for us this fall.”
Audiences are invited to join Marian, Robin Hood and the rest of the Sherwood Forest gang for an unforgettable theatrical adventure.
