What?
Join us for our annual holiday tradition at the St. Jacobs Country Playhouse. This time, enjoy a refreshing take on a familiar legend as Robin Hood and his merry men take you on a rollicking adventure as they pursue the ideals of justice and bravery - accentuated with a dash of romance. With King Richard away from England, the evil Sheriff Nottingham rules the kingdom with an iron fist. When Maid Marian and her Nurse Tickle come to town, the villainous titan devises a dastardly plan to marry the beauty ... or eliminate her to gain access to the family fortune. Luckily, Robin Hood and his mischievous band of fellow outlaws are determined to save the day, and perhaps even win Marion's undying affection in the process. With its winning combination of exciting action, dynamic dancing, hit songs, and laugh-out-loud comedy, Robin Hood is a must-see for the entire family this holiday season!
