The Adventures of Robin Hood

April 17 - 19 | 2026

By Sean Adams

Directed by Melissa Nicholson


ABOUT THE ADVENTUES OF ROBIN HOOD 

"And maybe I helped a few people, because I remembered being one of the masses without any power of my own."

Gamut Theatre’s Young Acting Company presents The Adventures of Robin Hood written by Sean Adams, an original work based on the classic folk tale. This much-beloved tale has been adapted into a full-length play to be performed by students, ages 6 through 18. 

A gang of thieves called the Merry Men has taken up residence in England’s Sherwood Forest, led by a dashing and charismatic archer named Robin Hood. They live free of the rules of the noble class, steal only from the wealthy and powerful, and have become heroes to the poor common folk. The outraged nobility demand that the Sheriff of Nottingham catch this elusive rogue by any means necessary. When is it right to break the law, and when do villains become heroes?

Directed by Melissa Nicholson, the cast of The Adventures of Robin Hood will be composed of both former and current students of the Gamut Theatre Academy program, as well as newcomers to the Gamut Theatre. The performance will feature singing, dancing, staged combat, and the irreverent humor that the Popcorn Hat Players are known for, and gives the cast of students a chance to learn the ins and outs of a professional theatrical production as they display their own incredible talent.

This show is appropriate for all ages!
