"Robin Hood" by Zephyr Theatre at Aamondt's Apple Farm

On one of the hottest days of the summer, I sat outside in the blaring sun and stifling humidity watching a new-ish retelling of the classic Robin Hood tale. Only for theater would I put up with such miserable conditions! To their credit, Zephyr Theatre had coolers full of water bottles and wet washcloths which helped immensely. And to the actors' credit, they recognized the situation and brought it into the story, instead of pretending we were all sitting inside an air-conditioned theater. But the good news for you is that next weekend's weather forecast looks much nicer, so if you go it will be a much more pleasant experience for you. But even with the heat, I enjoyed this fun playful show with a great cast, featuring the directorial debut of Children's Theatre Company's longtime company member Reed Sigmund, who's comic stamp on this production is very much evident. Join the adventure at Aamodt's Apple Farm (a beautiful and easy to access location just outside of Stillwater off 36) this weekend only!
