The Robber Bridegroom

July 1 through July 24, 2027 (No performance on July 4th)

This bluegrass fairytale is loaded with innuendo, mistaken identities and wacky hijinks.

A rousing, bawdy Southern fairytale from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Driving Miss Daisy!

Set in eighteenth-century Mississippi, the show follows Jamie Lockhart, a rascally robber of the woods, as he courts Rosamund, the only daughter of the richest planter in the country. The proceedings go awry, however, thanks to a case of double-mistaken identity. Throw in an evil stepmother who’s intent on Rosamund’s demise, her pea-brained henchman and a hostile talking head-in-a-trunk, and you have a rollicking country romp.
