"The Somewhat True Tales of Robin Hood" and "The Produces" will debut at the Topeka Civic Theatre and Academy this summer.
Twelve area youth -- from age 7 to 17 -- perform "The Somewhat True Tales of Robin Hood." The retell the stories of Robin Hood in a "Monty Python-esque way" said the theatre's artistic director Shannon Reilly.
"It's incredibly funny," he said. "These kids run around and do all the exciting, thrilling stuff without ever becoming as naughty as Monty Python."
