Fri 2 p.m. & 7:30 p.m., Sat 2 p.m. & 7:30 pm, Sun 2 p.m.; through 12/10; $10-$18; City College Performing Arts Center Main Auditorium, 3835 Freeport Boulevard; (916) 558-2228, http://www.citytheatre.net.

Kids are going to love City Theatre’s production of Robin Hood in the Forest of Frogwarts, a British panto by Christine Nicholson and directed by Luther Hanson.

The show is a zany romp through the forest populated by characters based on Harry Potter (Slithering Sam, Sherry Hotter) and the people of Sherwood Forest (The Sheriff of Snottingham) all under the guidance of the bizarrely costumed green wigged Vernon Lewis (Dame Ingrid).

There are lots of opportunities for kids to participate and even come up on stage. All ages will have a wonderful time.
