Milne and the 2011 Disney animated feature film.  Join Winnie the Pooh and the talented cast of 50 youth in the Hundred Acre Wood in Anthem, February 21 – 24.  

“If you liked the Winnie the Pooh movie about the "Backson" and all of Pooh's beloved friends, you will love the live stage version of Disney's Winnie the Pooh KIDS,” said Jackie Hammond, director and vocal director.  “It is very similar to the popular movie and follows the fun-loving story line.” Sarah Brayer is choreographing the show. This show runs without an intermission, but come early to join in the festive pre-show activities in the lobby like face painting, and cookies and lemonade with the characters.

Winnie the Pooh KIDS takes place in the Hundred Acre Wood, where Winnie the Pooh is once again in search of honey. Along the way, he meets his pals Tigger, Piglet, Rabbit and Owl, but soon discovers that Christopher Robin has been captured by the Backson! As they prepare for a rescue operation, the animals learn about teamwork, friendship, and sharing snacks!
