🎭 AUDITION ANNOUNCEMENT: MARIAN AND HER MERRY MEN 🎭
The Bluegrass Players at The Spotlight Playhouse presents:
MARIAN AND HER MERRY MEN
Directed by John Bailey
ABOUT THE SHOW: Forget everything you thought you knew about Robin Hood! In this hilarious comedy, we discover that behind every great man are five clever women who actually run the show. When the Sheriff of Nottingham’s excessive taxes threaten the poor people of Sherwood, it’s Marian and her band of merry women who devise the plans, stage the heists, and outsmart the sheriff’s bumbling guards. Meanwhile, Robin Hood gets all the credit – though he can barely shoot straight! This fresh and funny take on the classic tale reveals what really happened in Sherwood Forest.
