The Hadley Fund is pleased to present “Little Red Robin Hood, a Pillow Play,” by the Wilmington Drama League Children’s Theater, on Saturday, April 16.
The Chrysalis Players’ Pillow Plays series brings great theatre to young audiences of 10 and under. Pillow Plays have become a local phenomenon as these short plays have been taken to local libraries and schools, and now The Hadley Fund, according to a Hadley press release.
The focus of the Pillow Play is on drama and theatre education, offering an oasis of “face-to-face” communication in an arid, electronic age. Children should bring a pillow to sit on.
This fractured fairy takes an entertaining detour through Robin Hood’s Nottingham and Sherwood Forest. Sweet, kind Little Red Robin Hood must deal with the Big Bad Sheriff of the Naughty Hams who do the bidding of Prince John, the vain Emperor who is eager to try on his magic new suit being woven by Cinderella’s deceitful stepsisters, according to the Wilmington Drama League website.
With Humpty Dumpty, Black Sheep, Rose Red, and Simple Simon acting as her Merry Men, Little Red Robin Hood must save all the village grannies of Sherwood Forest, including her own, an old woman who lives in a shoe, Mother Hubbard, and Mother Goose herself. Along the way, she also wins the heart of the Pied Piper — aka Marion — who’s a touring celebrity musician with an armload of different Marys as groupies, the website said.
The free performance will take place on Saturday, April 16, at London Grove Friends Meeting, 500 W. Street Rd., from 2 until approximately 3:30 p.m. All Hadley Fund events are free and open to the public, but registration is required at HadleyFund.TicketLeap.com.
