Theatre
The Commedia Robin Hood
July 10-July 12, 2009
The merry troupe—Columbine, Arlequin, Punchin and Rosetta—tackle, tumble, trick and trip their way through the tale of Robin Hood with fantastic abandon. Get ready for action-packed clowning with puppets, stilts, singing, patter verse and mock combat in this unforgettable adaptation by Lane Riosely. Commedia dell’arte, Italian for “comedy of the professional artists,” was a popular form of improvisational theatre that began in Italy in the fifteenth century and continued in its appeal for centuries. At that time, all performances were unscripted and held outdoors, with only simple props and no scenery. The influence of commedia dell’arte is evident in much of our contemporary comedy, most notably in the great commedia artists of the twentieth century, the Marx Brothers.

"Enjoyed this very much"
Comment posted by: Elizabeth and Kelly Wainscott from Greensboro, NC, Jul 18, 2008
My daughter just read this book a week ago. She enjoyed the performance very much as did I. The young actors were very credible. We were very impressed. Great comedy as well.

Absolutely captivating and entertaining from beginning to end. For amateur actors, everyone in the cast gave a stellar performance, especially Ed Allen (The Old Man) who is better than the movie version character! Director Mike Gilbert is a master at his craft and his adaptation of this clasic, hilarious Christmas tale for this venue is spectacular. I left the theatre still chuckling at the very funny scenes and the actors who made it all come alive. I would recommend this entertaining Christmas classic for anyone who wants to get into the Christmas spirit in a hurry! Collapse
