ROBIN/MARIAN – Female 
ALANNA DALE – Female 
THE SHERIFF OF NOTTINGHAM – Male 
LITTLE JOHN – Male, large 
LADY SHIRLEY – Female 
PRINCE JOHN – Male 
TANNER – Any gender (can be doubled by actor who plays Theo or Lucy)
WILL SCARLET – Female (played as male)
MUCH THE MILLER’S SON – Nonbinary (can be played by female, male, transgender, genderqueer or nonbinary individual) 
FRIAR TUCK – Male (in smaller cast, can be played by the same actor who plays the Sheriff) 
TOMMY OF NO CONSEQUENCE – Played as male by any gender
SIR THEO THE PUNCTUAL – Played as male by any gender 
SIR LENNY THE OBSERVANT – Played as male by any gender 
LUCY – played as female (can be doubled as Sir Lenny or a Guard)
GUARDS – Played as male by any gender (as many or as few as you like – up to fifteen speaking parts). In a smaller cast, Guard 1 and Guard 2 are played by Theo and Lenny. In a larger cast, each time Guard 1 and 2 appear, they can be played by different actors. The actor who plays Tommy can play a Guard toward the end, too. Same for the actor who plays Shirley.

Author's Note: All parts are race non-specific. Marian/Robin need not be white. When women are playing men, fake moustaches and beards are probably a good idea. Try very hard to have a diverse cast. Almost forty percent of the U.S. is non-white. Can at least forty percent of your cast be? It would also be very helpful to have transgender, genderqueer, and/ or nonbinary people involved in the production. Preferably more than one. The designations of female and male above can be used more as a guideline in the casting of this play. It would be great if Much was cast with a transgender, genderqueer, or nonbinary actor, but there are other parts that might be cast that way, too.
