The Silly Adventures of Robin Hood

We have a huge treat for you and your family,
sponsored by The Royal Canadian Theatre Company:
The Silly Adventures of Robin Hood! 

Come and enjoy a boisterous, wacky and comical rendition of Robin Hood.

Grab a blanket and a picnic basket to enjoy this family friendly, hour long performance. Written and Directed by Ellie King and performed by the Merrie-Makers Travelling Players.

Everyone knows the traditional story of Robin Hood: Steal from the rich, give to the poor and marry Maid Marion! But this production brings you new songs, ingenious jokes and up-close sword combat! Maid Marion and Robin Hood banding together to defeat Sheriff Poltroon and Lord Knickerbocker brings warmth to your heart and a smile to your face!

Join us for an all-ages theatre show guaranteed to be fun for all the family. This one-hour show is the story of Robin Hood, as told by a travelling troupe of players who are bringing music, comedy, and a large dollop of silliness. Enjoy high-jinks and hilarity with Jack Pudding, Tallie Longbottom, and the rest of the ‘Merrie-Makers’ as you travel back in time to find out what really happened at that famous archery competition in Nottingham all those years ago.

All in good fund – 2019

All in Good Fund

This fundraiser is dedicated to mentoring the kids you’ll see on stage at the Massey in our upcoming pantomime, Snow White !

We are so lucky to have the one and only Simon King, an amazing stand-up comedian, with us for this event. He will have a guest with him, and together they will bring us an exceptional, hilarious, side-splitting evening of entertainment. Simon will also be on stage this holiday season at the Surrey Arts Centre and the Massey Theatre.

Simon has numerous national television appearances including Comedy Network, CBC, CTV, TBS, Comedy Central to name but a few, plus regular radio play on both terrestrial and satellite radio, and in person appearances at all the major North American Comedy Festivals. It is only a matter of time before this grass roots superstar becomes a household name.

His unmistakable style, commanding stage presence and lightning wit will win you over but the scope, meaning and sheer hilarity of his material will blow your mind. There is no question that Simon King is an absolute force of nature.

[See videos of Simon in action on YouTube]

“From everything I have seen, Simon King is truly a gifted comedian” – Robin Williams

“….a force on stage: he gives it to you straight with explosive delivery, and his humour always makes you think. Think George Carlin meets Sam Kinison.” – The Georgia Straight
