Vermont Youth Dancers presents their own retelling of the classic legend of Robin Hood, In The Woods Somewhere, Robyn Hood's Gang of Thieves, April 1 and 2 at Essex High School. After her lands are taken, Robyn of Locksley forms a band of rebels to help those in need. Will the Sheriff of Nottingham catch them, and what price must be paid in order for Robyn to save her friends? This full length theatre production is told through dance to current music with imaginative sets and beautiful costumes, where the chosen music, acting, and unexpected blend of hip hop and lyrical choreography tell the story. With this performance, VYD is offering partial proceeds to and honoring the work of Wood4Good and Aunt Dot's Place Food Shelf. Tickets for April 1 at 1:30 and 6:30, and April 2 at 1:30 are available at vermontyouthdancers.org. Don't miss it!
