The Grand Marais Playhouse is busy working on the community youth production of Little Red Robin Hood by Flip Kobler and Cindy Marcus.
The entertaining performance is described by Pioneer Drama Service this way: “We’ve all seen fractured fairy tales before, but never quite like this one, which takes a hilarious detour through Robin Hood’s Nottingham and Sherwood Forest!
“Leave it to the dream team of Flip Kobler and Cindy Marcus, writers of multiple scripts for Disney, to come up with a fresh, hysterical twist on characters we all know. Smart, pretty, and kind, Little Red Robin Hood must deal with the Big Bad Sheriff of the Naughty Hams (the Three Little Pigs, that is!), who do the bidding of Prince John, the vain Emperor who is eager to try on his magic new suit being woven by Cinderella’s deceitful stepsisters. With Humpty Dumpty, Black Sheep, Rose Red, and Simple Simon acting as her Merry Men, Little Red Robin Hood must save all the village grannies of Sherwood Forest, including her own, an old woman who lives in a shoe, Mother Hubbard, and Mother Goose herself.
There’s a large cast of kooky characters in the upcoming Grand Marais Playhouse production Little Red Robin Hood. They were all having a great time during a recent dance rehearsal. The play debuts April 15.
“Along the way, she also wins the heart of the Pied Piper — aka Marion — who’s a touring celebrity musician with an armload of different Marys as groupies.”
Performances are April 15-17 and 22-24. Friday and Saturday performances are at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. Special treats in the lobby on Opening Weekend by Alyce’s!
Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students 18 and under. Friday, April 15 is “Food Shelf Friday”—bring $10 of food or cash and get one ticket free with the purchase of another. Sunday, April 17 is donation day, pay any amount for your ticket.
This is a hilarious show you will not want to miss!
