A few years back, Robin Hood and his merry men descended upon Meaford Hall to enthrall and engage the crowd with their gallant gaiety, chivalrous shenanigans and heroic hijinks. Next Friday, the band returns to take the stage in Robin Hood and The Golden Arrow.

The production, by Kids in the Meaford Hall, features a cast of 28 school-age actors, from local elementary and high schools in an entertaining tale packed with choreographed swordwork and action alongside musical numbers adapted from Disney’s Robin Hood.

(Last time ’round, your blogger had a hand in working on a rather fun special effect. Robin, standing at the back of the audience, drew back on his bow, and across the hall on-stage, the arrow struck the target with a thwack.)

There’s a matinee at 1 p.m. and an evening performance at 7 p.m. next Friday, December 6 at Meaford Hall. Kids 13 and under get in free. For older folks, tickets are only $15. Get yours at Meaford Hall.
