From the Studio: Spartan Theatre

Spokane Public Radio | By Verne Windham

Published November 8, 2018 at 9:48 PM PST

Director Ashley DeMoville and actor Jake Promitas of SFCC’s Spartan Theatre visited the studio today to deliver the details of their wacky new play, “Merry Men.” Featuring mistaken identity, music, sword fights, and poorly trained attack ferrets, it’s a comedic retelling of the classic story of Robin Hood— without Robin Hood.

Performances will be at 7 PM November 8 – 10 and 2 PM November 11 with more shows at the same times next week.

This production is suitable for all ages.
