Robin Hood’s Rescue – Act 2
Maid Marian was strolling through the castle courtyard with her lady-in-waiting, Ella A’Dale, when a strange carriage came rolling in the gates. Maid Marian’s curiosity was piqued and she moved closer to get a better look at the occupants of the carriage. She was shocked when Lady Gayle emerged, dragging behind her the notorious outlaw Robin Hood! Robin gave Maid Marian a brief glance as the guard hauled him off toward the dungeons. “I see there’s a new prisoner in the castle.” Maid Marian said innocently to the Sheriff as he walked by. “Yes,” answered the Sheriff. “We are expecting a visit from Queen Cowalor and the last thing I wanted was Robin Hood setting upon her. So we laid a trap and he fell right into it.” “How clever of you.” responded Maid Marian. “Well, it wasn’t that hard.” drawled the Sheriff. “You see – we seem to have a spy in our midst.” The Sheriff moved close to Maid Marian and peered at her menacingly. “All we had to do was plant the false … Read more
Robin Hood’s Rescue – Act 1
ACT 1 Robin peered out from behind the thick bushes to see the small carriage rolling down the hill. Just as Robin’s spy within Kinzingham Castle had expected, the carriage was lightly guarded in an attempt to pass through Kinzwood Forest unnoticed. But Robin knew that travelling in that carriage was Queen Cowalor, on a journey to visit the evil Sheriff of Kinzingham and bestow on him even more power than the sadistic Sheriff already held over the poor peasants of Kinzingham. Although he had no desire to harm the Queen, Robin knew that the grand dame would be laden with riches and he couldn’t let this opportunity pass. Ever since the day he had been declared an outlaw for standing up to the Sheriff in defense of the impoverished residents of Kinzingham, Robin had worked tirelessly to ease the burden of the peasants. The taxes demanded by the Sheriff were steep, but for every KinzCash collected, it seemed like Robin was there to steal them back and dole out his haul to the poor. Robin’s sidekick, Much, stumbled up the hill toward him. “Ssshh!!” Robin whispered as Much tripped over his sword. “Sorry!” replied … Read more

Final Dress Rehearsal!
Hi there! It’s Molly here. I am soooo nervous! Our school play is tomorrow night and I am playing Maid Marian. It has been so much fun rehearsing with everyone over the past couple of weeks, but now that it’s down to the wire – well, I’m getting butterflies in my stomach! We had our big dress rehearsal today and you could say things didn’t exactly go smoothly. Alex is playing this character called ‘Much’, who is Robin Hood’s sidekick. Much is supposed to be kind of clumsy and I guess Alex took his role to heart because at one point, when he was in a sword fight with the Sheriff of Kinzingham (Stoogles), he knocked over two trees that we were using as props. He got dirt all over the stage and Ms. Cowoline had to stop the rehearsal so she could clean up the mess. And I guess it was typecasting when they gave the role of the bad guy to Purr-cilla. Man, talk about a prima donna. Sparky and I are the two leads of the play but by the way she carries on you would think that Purr-cilla was the star. She was late for … Read more
