Winnie-the-Pooh, produced by the North Carolina Theatre for Young People, is a delightful retelling of the classic tale. Join Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet, and the rest of the entourage for an afternoon of fun in The Hundred Acre Wood. With a run time of approximately one hour, Winnie-the-Pooh is a great opportunity for family fun.
Winnie-the-Pooh runs Feb. 4, 11, 18, and 25 with two show times each day at 10 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. in Sprinkle Theatre (Brown Building, 402 Tate St.). After its run at UNCG, the production travels on a road tour to NC grade schools from March 1 to April 25.
The show is directed by Rachel Briley and the script was adapted from A.A. Milne’s work by School of Theatre faculty member Janet Allard. The cast consists of UNCG’s School of Theatre students in various programs such as the BA Drama program and the BFA Theatre Education degree tracks to name a few. Beyond the actors on stage, BFA and MFA Design students helped create the world of Winnie-the-Pooh in areas including scene, light, and costume design. Experience the new yet familiar world these talented theatre practitioners created in Winnie-the-Pooh.
There will be a post-show Frame/Works discussion hosted through Zoom on March 20 at 7 pm. Topics such as the importance of theatre for young audiences and other elements of the show will be discussed in a forum open to the audience and general public.
