Robin Hood - Hudson Filmfest 2023 Full Feature Film Screening

When the Pied Piper Children's Theatre needed to re-imagine their teen play that would normally happen in the fall, our director decided to attempt something that Pied Piper had never done before... shoot a film instead, using our northern Manhattan parks and forests as the backdrop and with Covid-19 safety measures in place on the film shoot days. Zoom rehearsals took place first, and then four episodes were shot on four consecutive Saturdays in October 2020. In this retelling of the ancient legend, you'll meet Robin, Marian, Will Scarlett, Friar Tuck, and the merry band as youve never seen them before. Can this clever band of thieves with hearts of gold foil the Sheriff of Nottingham and his men in their evil plans, and bring peace and prosperity to Sherwood? Tune in to find out!
