FROM THE DIRECTOR
Welcome to our production of Winnie the Pooh!
This show has been an absolute joy to create with our wonderful Broadway Kids. Much like Pooh and his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood, our cast has discovered the true magic of friendship, teamwork, and imagination.
Every rehearsal has been filled with laughter, determination, and honey-sweet effort. What makes me proudest is not just how beautifully they’ve learned their lines and songs, but how they’ve lifted one another up along the way—encouraging, celebrating, and supporting each other at every step. They’ve built a little Hundred Acre Wood of their own, where everyone belongs and every voice matters.
Watching these young performers grow in courage, creativity, and confidence has been the greatest reward. Their dedication reminds us all that theatre is about so much more than performance—it’s about working together, embracing everyone’s strengths, and finding joy in telling a story as a team.
I am incredibly proud of each and every one of them, and I know you’ll see that pride shining through on stage today.
We invite you now to step into the Hundred Acre Wood with us. May it bring you smiles, laughter, and the simple but powerful reminder that kindness, imagination, and friendship are treasures worth holding onto.
With gratitude,
Laura Cooper
Director
