WEST PLAINS, Mo. – The Imaginary Theatre Company of the St. Louis Repertory Theatre will bring its production of “Robin Hood” to the West Plains Civic Center stage for a 7 p.m. performance Feb. 20.
Presented by Missouri State University-West Plains’ University/Community Programs (U/CP) Department, the performance is being made possible with support from the Missouri Arts Council, a state agency.
Tickets are $8 each for adults. Children age 13 and under, and Missouri State-West Plains students with a valid BearPass ID, will be admitted free.
In its final performance of this season, the Imaginary Theatre Company returns to West Plains to bring the classic tale of the Prince of Thieves and his friends to life in a rollicking medieval adventure, company officials said. Audience members will travel to Sherwood Forest and watch Robin Hood and his Merry Men come to the rescue of the poor citizens of Nottingham, foiling the rotten Sheriff along the way. It’s all adventure and excitement as this legendary outlaw and his men outwit their enemies and accomplish daring feats of bravery – always with the goal of helping others.
“The Imaginary Theatre Company has brought two great performances – ‘Bah Humbug!’ and ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’ – to our stage this year, and we know “Robin Hood” will be an even bigger hit. We look forward to sharing this live performance with audiences of all ages,” said U/CP Theater and Events Coordinator Emily Gibson. “Thanks to the support of the Missouri Arts Council, we have had another great year of bringing high quality performances to schools and the community.”
