Everyone’s favorite “Silly Old Bear,” Winnie-the-Pooh, will be leaving his home of Hundred Acre Woods for the rolling hills of West Virginia when he makes his way to West Virginia Wesleyan College on Saturday and Sunday, March 22-23.

Pooh and all of his friends will be performing some of the best loved stories by A. A. Milne on the campus of West Virginia Wesleyan College at Jenkins Theatre. Performance times will be at 2 and 4 p.m. each day.

Join Pooh and his friends Rabbit, Eeyore, Owl, Piglet, Kanga, Roo, and of course Tigger in this play for the whole family.

You will see Pooh as he gets stuck in Rabbit’s front door, searches for Eeyore’s tail, and tries to find Tigger some breakfast.

Theatre space is intimate so children might find themselves as part of the story!

“Winnie-the-Pooh is a show for everyone,” remarked director Barbara Burgess-Lefebvre. “Going back to the original material has been revealing and I hope that this production will encourage children to read these books for themselves.”

A special Pooh party is planned at 3 p.m. for each day. For an additional dollar, children can talk with the characters, have their photo taken with their favorite characters, do crafts, and have a snack. Come early for the 4 p.m. show or stay after the 2 p.m. show for an extra special addition to your Winnie-the-Pooh experience!

Admission is $4 for general admission, $2 for children and senior citizens, and $1 for West Virginia Wesleyan students.
