“This delightful show is based on the beloved characters of A.A.

Welcome to 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 mysterious Backson! As they prepare for a rescue operation, the animals learn about teamwork, friendship and, of course, sharing snacks.

‘Disney’s Winnie the Pooh KIDS’ is a favorite for children to perform and audience to enjoy, Fritz said. This abbreviated performance is perfect for young audiences and as an introduction to live theater.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children up to age 11. The box office will open 30 minutes prior to each performance.
