About Theatre in the Grove’s production of Winnie-the-Pooh

This production of Winnie-the-Pooh is an amazing, heart-felt adaptation, by Sean Patrick Nill, of the original stories by A.A. Milne.

New to the neighborhood and feeling out of place, Christopher Robin would rather retreat into his room than face the unfamiliar world outside. While a friendly neighbor tries to draw him into play, he finds comfort instead in his cherished stuffed animals. Sensing his son’s unease, A.A. Milne begins sharing imaginative stories inspired by those beloved toys—stories filled with adventure, warmth, and gentle humor. As the tales unfold, Christopher Robin discovers the confidence to step beyond his fears and connect with others. Drawn from A.A. Milne’s original work, Winnie-the-Pooh brings timeless characters to life onstage and reminds audiences of all ages that friendship often begins with a little courage.

Directed by Donald Cleland with assistant director/stage manager Kathleen Lacock, the cast of this production is mostly youth, ages 8 to 20.

There are 6 performances open to the public: Feb 6 & 13 @ 7:30PM, Feb 7, 8, 14, 15 @ 2:30PM.
