Woodstock area’s Yoh Theatre Players performed “Robin Hood the Musical ,”written by Greg Banks and directed by Marcia Bender, Friday- Sunday, Dec. 15-17 at Woodstock Union High School Middle School.

“The play takes a broader view of what Robin Hood is,” said Cassandra (“Cassie”) Naife, a YOH Player in an interview with Okemo Valley TV. “It’s a more modern take.”

“It embraces the whimsicalness and fairytale energy of the whole story,” said Sam Hauze, who played the role of the Sheriff of Nottingham. “We’re making it more punk rock against corporate villains,” he explained. Adding that his character’s goal “is essentially to just keep the members of the corporate villiany in power.”
