EVENTS Calendar
JUNE * Compiled by Pamela A. Keene
Shakespeare Tavern Playhouse transforms into Sherwood Forest
From the stages of New York's Broadway and London's West End,
Shakespeare Tavern Playhouse in Atlanta presents Ken Ludwig's
" Sherwood: The Adventures of Robin Hood, " June 4-26, Thursdays
through Sundays. It has something for everyone, including stage
fights, comedy and original music written by resident composer
Bo Gaiason.
" I'm very excited to help bring this production of Ken Ludwig's
'Sherwood' to the Shakespeare Tavern Playhouse stage this summer, "
Director Andrew Houchins says. " We've talked for a while about finding
more family-friendly, non-Shakespeare titles to produce, and this
version of the story of Robin Hood really checks a lot of boxes for us.
And I've always been a sucker for a story about underdogs championing
the fight against corruption. "
Discounted tickets are available to children and students for
Saturday matinees.
" Even if you're familiar with the story of Robin Hood, " Houchins
says, " this version will be unlike any other that you've seen before. "
Tickets can be purchased at bit.ly/atlshkspr or (404) 874-5229.
