MARIAN, OR THE TRUE TALE OF ROBIN HOOD: TEEN EDITION
By Adam Szymkowicz
A gender-bending, patriarchy-smashing, hilarious new take on the classic tale, adapted for performance by teen actors for family audiences. Robin Hood is (and has always been) Maid Marian in disguise and leads a motley group of Merry Men (few of whom are actually men) against the greedy Prince John. As the poor get poorer and the rich get richer, who will stand for the vulnerable if not Robin? What is the cost of revealing your true self in a time of trouble? Modern concerns and romantic entanglements clash on the battlefield and on the ramparts of Nottingham Castle in this play about selfishness, selflessness, love deferred and the fight. Always the fight. The fight must go on.
South Fork Performing Arts
South Fork Performing Arts strives to bring quality arts education to local youths by utilizing area professional artists and teachers in the subjects of theatre and music. At SFPA we believe in teaching more than just subject material to students. By utilizing their strengths and learning styles as individuals and as a cohort we can educate the whole student and ensemble. By building strong relationships with our students in small class settings and through private instruction, we feel students can learn in a safe and supportive environment that aids them in their learning process and sets them up for success. Knowing that the arts often attracts individuals who may be sensitive or feel they don’t “fit in” with their peers, we hope to provide an environment in which they feel they can succeed with support from their peers and educators alike. Through ensemble building and course study, we strive to prepare our students for arts disciplines and the world at large.
