🌟 Feature Production: DuffleBag Theatre – Robin Hood

This season, we’re excited to highlight one of DuffleBag Theatre’s signature shows — Robin Hood!

About the Show:
Join the legendary Robin Hood as he defends the people of England! In Robin Hood, the spirited outlaw and his band of friends — including Maid Marian, Friar Tuck, and Little John — set out to bring justice to the land while outsmarting Prince John and the Sheriff of Nottingham. The show is full of humour, action, and fun twists on a classic tale.

What Makes It Special:

• Interactive & Engaging: DuffleBag’s performances aren’t your typical theatre — audience participation is encouraged! Students may be invited on stage to help shape the story as it unfolds.

• Fun for All Ages: With humour and storytelling that appeals to a broad range of ages, this show keeps young audiences entertained and curious.

• Duration: Approximately 50–60 minutes, ideal for students’ attention spans and school schedules.

Whether your students are cheering on Robin Hood or helping the cast create unforgettable moments, this performance is sure to make theatre come alive in a way they’ll remember.
