Redlands Footlighters will present the folk musical The Robber Bridegroom May 3-27.

A rousing, bawdy Southern fairy tale set in eighteenth century Mississippi. This wonderful musical tells the story of the courting of Rosamund, the only daughter of the richest planter in the country, by Jamie Lockhart, a rascally robber of the woods. The proceedings go awry, thanks to an unconventional case of double-mistaken identity. Throw in an evil stepmother intent on Rosamund’s demise, her peabrained henchman, and a hostile talking head-in-a-trunk, and you have the recipe for a rollicking country romp.

Information about tickets and reservations can be found on their Web site at http://redlandsfootlighters.org/rf2006-2007/Bridegroom.html or by calling (909) 793-2909.
