Exciting take on legend of Robin Hood coming to Red Deer

May 7, 2018 | 10:01 AM

Sixty four of central Alberta’s most talented young performers are set to bring an exciting take on the legend of Robin Hood to Red Deer next month.

Cornerstone Youth Theatre is proudly presenting Rockin’ Robin Hood opening Friday, June 1 until Sunday, June 10 at New Life Fellowship located at 20 Kelloway Crescent.

The story is said to begin in happier times when Nottingham was wealthy and prosperous. A young orphan Robin and his twin sister Hazel arrive with big hopes to open an archery shop but immediately run into trouble.

King Richard has left for the Crusades, so the rotten Sheriff of Nottingham and his land-owning fiancé, Lady Blackwood, seize the opportunity to tax the town blind. Robin quickly makes an enemy of the sheriff and eventually becomes a wanted man.

By the time he escapes to Sherwood Forest, he’s met all his legendary friends – Friar Tuck, Little John, Marian and more and brought the team together to help return what is stolen from the poor and eventually bring the evil sheriff down.
