Page 16 The Portland Observer Black HistOiy Month February 9, 2011 IM U I1ISMIM The outlaw Robin Hood is at loose and at large, disturbing the peace, breaking the law, and generally causing all manner of havoc and mayhem in Sherwood Forest. The scene comes alive in the stage production of Robin Hood, now playing through Feb. 20 at the Northwest Children’s Theater and School, 1819 N.W. Everett St. The adaption of the James Moore classic, has the Sheriff of Nottingham taking it upon himself to raise taxes on extravagancies like food, water, and shelter, and initiate a surprisingly lucrative thumb-tax. What may seem like reasonable actions to some, have been met with unanticipated acrimony and, shockingly, public resentment. And a certain character who calls himself Robin Hood has begun stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. Robin Hood’s Merry Band includes a motley crew, and Robin Hood himself is rumored to be romantically in­ volved with an unsuspecting damsel called Maid Marian. Shows are Fridays and Saturdays at 7 p.m.; with Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. For tickets, call 503-222-4480 or visit the website nw cts.org.
