Synopsis
In merry ol’ England, the townspeople are overtaxed and overwhelmed. Luckily, the mysterious outlaw Robin Hood is giving them hope by stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. With many clever disguises, Robin continually tricks the greedy sheriff of Nottingham, his nasty daughter, Luciana, and the evil Prince John. Among the disguises is a minstrel costume to steal Prince John’s silver plates and excellent cook. Robin also dresses as an old man and enters the archery contest to win the golden arrow. When a young girl from Nottingham joins Robin’s band of outlaws, she discovers Robin’s secret: Robin Hood is actually a woman. Eventually, Robin needs her merry band of outlaws and her childhood friend, the brave Maid Marian, to use all of their quarterstaffs, swords, arrows and wits to save her from the gallows. The Many Disguises of Robin Hood has been produced with cast sizes between 8 and 63 young actors.

Customer Reviews
- "This was an excellent version of the classic story for middle school theater. It was extremely customizable for splitting or doubling parts making it easy to produce a quality show!"
- Review by Laura Schreiber, Wayland Union MS, Wayland, Mich.
-
"This was a wonderful production for our kiddos to learn! It provided golden opportunities for ample energy on stage and silly improv of their characters. It was also easy to create a set, as so many scenes called for similarity.
We had FUN!
" - Review by Angela Perry, Matchbox Children's Theatre, Austin, Minn.
- "Audiences loved this show. It was a pretty simple set and flows nicely. Very similar to other Robin Hood stories with a twist. Great for middle schoolers or possibly elementary. "
- Review by Molly Blystone, Parke Heritage Middle School, Marshall, Ind.
Hints, Tips, and Tricks
- "You can use as many or as few props as you would like. For the archery competition, we had pre set "targets" ready and had the judge come out with each one as each character shot. It worked really well for our group."
