Dean Poling | The Valdosta Daily TimesThe sheriff (played by Jonathan McLain) is nabbed by Robin Hood (Jaxton Rogers) while Lady Merle (Rebekah McGee) enters from behind in Little Actors Theatre production of 'Robin Hood.'

VALDOSTA – Robin Hood, Little John, Friar Tuck forever in the elder woods of England, battling the Sheriff of Nottingham, robbing the rich to give to the poor. Same story. A different twist.

Little Actors Theatre presents the twist this weekend with “Robin Hood” featuring children and youths in the familiar roles in a play by children for children.

Diane Tovar, Little Actors Theatre director, said the cast features performers ranging in ages 5 to 15 years old.

“Robin Hood” is not a musical but a stage play. 

Jonathan McLain embraces playing the villainous sheriff, willing to do what it takes to make his character and the show a success.

“Whatever it takes to get to Broadway,” he said.
