Tales of Ye Merry Woode-Robin Hood


Character: Prince John
Director: Anna Murdock
Location: Spanish Fork High School's Big Theater
Year: 1989
Our first Children's Theater show on the big stage. My brother, Corey, played Robin Hood and shot an arrow from his large tree set piece all the way across to skewer a fake roast! The kids loved it.
I realized that I like playing the bad guy! "Page!" "Cook!" "Guard!"
My sister, Princess Kate, portrayed by Heather Christensen. We were often partners in crime in various sketches and shows. *Bang! Pow!*

Myself, the director Anna Murdock, my brother Chris portraying Will Scarlet, and one of my hundreds of children my mom taught over her 36+ years.

Character: Prince John
Director: Anna Murdock
Location: Peteeteneet School, Payson
Year: 1989
How do you make a great show better? Take it outside...

Just pray for good weather...

These castle set pieces survived over 30 years, dozens of shows, and is still being used to this day. A few pieces are currently residing in our garage and my wife used them recently for a Medieval Celebration "A Knight to Remember" for our church's ward activity. We also used them for our medieval-themed wedding reception.
