IMPORTANT: If you’d like to audition, we ask that you please make our rehearsals a high priority. We only have a few weeks to put this show together, and it will require hard work and dedication. If you have a very busy schedule and a lot of conflicts, it will be best to sit this one out. We will do our best to schedule rehearsals around everyone’s know conflicts, but availability for rehearsals will affect who we select for our cast. If you ARE able and willing to put in the time and effort to make a great show, we look forward to working with you!
If you’re unable to make it to the days and times above but would like to audition, please let us know! We will try to accommodate.
The show will NOT be double cast, and we’ll likely not be able to cast everyone who auditions – the show has a cast size of about 25. Availability to attend rehearsals will be a consideration in choosing who to cast.

Nothing needs to be prepared in advance. We’ll ask about your past experience and have group readings for different roles. See the character list on this page for details. There may be some waiting, so feel free to bring something to pass the time quietly.
Actors should be available to perform in all six shows. Any exceptions will need to be approved at auditions. Please check show dates and times at the top of this page to confirm your availability.
Rehearsals will usually be scheduled on weekday evenings and weekends. On the audition form, you will be asked to list any dates and times that you will not be available for rehearsal. Most actors will be asked to attend rehearsals for approximately 2 hours, 3 or 4 days per week.
If you’d like to complete the audition form ahead of time, use the download button below. Otherwise, forms will be available to fill out at auditions. Please be sure to complete the conflicts calendar on the back.
Auditioning is free.
For the selected cast, there’s a $25 participation fee per person. This helps cover the show’s budget for props, set, costumes, and more. Please don’t let the participation fee be the reason you do not audition. If you get a part, and the fee is a challenge, let us know. One of our generous donors will help sponsor you anonymously.
Show t-shirts will be available for purchase by the cast, friends, and family. This is optional and not part of the participation fee. The cost will depend on the quantity ordered, usually around $15 per shirt.
Our auditions are open to everyone in the community, and no previous theater experience is required. If you are new to theater but interested in getting involved, please audition!
Use the form below to send us a quick message. Form submissions are sent to the directors (Nate & Melanie Baldwin) and producer (Peyton Suiter).
It sure is hard to be humble when you’re a swashbuckling, egocentric super-hero. But our gallant guy-in-green tries his best as he swaggers through The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood, a frantically funny, Monty Pythonesque retelling of the classic. This time around, the legendary legend, in his never-ending quest to aid the needy, encounters a lovely damsel-in-distress (oddly obsessed with skin conditions); an ever-scheming sheriff who would rather bowl a strike than hit a bull’s-eye; a gold-hoarding, bad-guy monarch wannabe; and a good-natured “Town’s Guy” who manages to make his way into every scene, whether he belongs there or not. Combine them with an expandable band of spoon-wielding Merry Men whose collective IQs equal six, and you’ve got an irreverent jaunt through Sherwood Forest you won’t soon forget!
ROBIN HOOD:
He’s quite impressed with himself. (A cross between Dudley DoRight and Frasier’s Niles Crane.) To feed his ego, one must fill a void the size of the Grand Canyon. However, his heart is good, for his mission is to help the homeless and poor of England.
LADY MARIAN:
She is the niece of King Richard and Prince John. She is also Robin’s true love. She is a cross between Emma Thompson and Miss Piggy. She is kind, charming, and shares Robin’s quest to aid the needy. However, she has a strange obsession with skin conditions.
PRINCE JOHN:
He’s typically evil, selfish, greedy and has positively no regard for the welfare of England or its people. Should be largely despicable.
SHERIFF OF NOTTINGHAM:
Shares all of Prince’s prime qualities. Moreover, he is a master sportsman and Robin’s chief rival. He also hopes to marry Marian.
TOWN’S GUY:
Befriends Robin and helps him out of a few tight situations while teaching him some valuable lessons at the same time. Serves as the story’s narrator.
LADY IN WAITING:
Fed up with life in the castle.
FRIAR TUCK:
A holy relic.
THE MERRY MEN:
Collectively, the Merry Men should behave somewhat like a pack of happy, but none-too-bright stray dogs.
FAWNING LADIES:
4 ladies who fawn over Prince John
GUARDS (2):
men wearing black robes and hooded masks
