Come and join us in the Hundred Acre Wood for a silly romp with Christopher Robin and all his childhood friends! Christopher Robin is being sent off to Education and believes that running away with Winnie the Pooh and company is a much better fate. All the while, Eeyore needs a new house and just who is the loud monster they keep hearing crashing and banging throughout the Wood?
This show has 11 roles. Age and gender are not fixed and this list is merely a suggestion of “type” for each role. For example, “older” means an actor over 18, where “younger” means 17 and younger…but this is not set in stone!
CHRISTOPHER ROBIN – (any age) A young boy who does NOT want to leave his wonderful friends to be sent off to Education.
WINNIE THE POOH – (older) A silly bear who is fiercely loyal and full of love (while not always full of great ideas).
PIGLET – (younger) A small pig who while being quite fearful, also finds large amounts of courage inside themself.
EEYORE – (older) A melancholy donkey who just wants a house to stay warm inside of and feels like no one cares.
RABBIT – (older) A bossy rabbit who always thinks they know exactly what everyone should be doing.
EARLY – (younger) A young rabbit who is a niece or nephew of Rabbit’s. They are energetic and always early.
LATE – (younger) A young rabbit who is a niece or nephew of Rabbit’s. They are lethargic and always late.
KANGA – (older) A kangaroo who is a doting mother of Roo. She can be overbearing, but it all comes from a deep love for her child.
ROO – (younger) A kangaroo joey who is the child of Kanga. They love their mama but have a wild energy inside that can lead to testing Kanga’s limits.
OWL – (older) An owl who acts very wise and dignified while may not exactly know as much as they say they do.
TIGGER (older) A tiger who is being introduced to the inhabitants of the Hundred Acre Wood for the first time. They are wildly energetic and very athletic. Their behavior does not leave a good first impression on everyone, but they are truly a good animal at their core.
