Stage Left After School – The Daring Adventures of Robin Hood
Grades 5th – 8th
It is 1192 and times are hard in Merry Old England. King Richard the Lion-heart is away, fighting in the crusades, while his brother, Prince John rules the kingdom in his place. Greedy and hungry for power, the Prince confiscates lands, homes, livestock and coins from everyone—all in the name of the King. When Lady Rosalind’s lands are taken, she flees to the forest of Sherwood, disguised as “Robin Hood”—an outlaw. Gathering other disgruntled English men and women around her, she makes plans to defy Prince John and win back her lands! Based on the Medieval English folk legend, this First Act original is full of enough mischievous characters, humor, stealth and swashbuckling to create a fun-filled challenge for all youth actors!

Center Stage – Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet
Grades 8th – 12th
