(April 16, 2025) — Registration is now open for Robin Hood and the Sherwood Circus, a spring Mini-production at Oddfellows Playhouse in Middletown. The program is open to young people ages 6 – 14.
The Mini-production is a fun version of the Robin Hood story that combines both theater and circus. This two-week theater adventure will run Monday through Friday, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., from May 27, 2025 through June 5, 2025, culminating in performances on June 5, 2025 and June 6, 2025 at 7:00 p.m.
The production is part of Oddfellows Playhouse’s Oddbridge Extended Day program. Through the program, Middletown public school students can take a bus directly from school and get a snack before rehearsals begin. A drop off option is available for homeschoolers or students from other school districts.
The show will be co-directed by Oddfellows instructors Maegan Fuller and Kayla Bucholz. Fuller says of the show: “When the evil Prince John tasks the Sheriff of Nottingham to collect unreasonable taxes from the villagers, it’s up to Robin Hood, Little John and the other Merry Clowns of the Sherwood Circus to wage a light-hearted battle against their evil foes! Will Robin save the day and win the hand of Maid Marian? Join us to find out!”
Tuition for the nine day program is $200, and financial aid is available for families who require it. For more information, visit www.oddfellows.org, call 860-347-6143, or email info@oddfellows.org.
