Performances of "Winnie the Pooh (An Actor’s Studio Production)" will open the 2026–27 Parkland College Theatre season at the college’s Second Stage Theatre, October 15–25.
Adapted by Sean Patrick Nill and based on the book by A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh is Christopher Robin's fat little "bear of very little brain" who would like to drift peacefully through life, humming tunes and stopping frequently to eat "a little something."
However, he finds himself involved in all sorts of frantic adventures, assisted by such friends like Eeyore, Piglet, and Rabbit. Pooh's intentions are always the best, but his passion for honey and condensed milk keeps getting him into trouble.
When Kanga takes in Piglet and subjects him to soap and medicine, Pooh wants to fly to the rescue, but he’s had so many snacks, he gets stuck in the door. Milne's wit and special understanding of young people make this one of the most delightful plays of our time.
Amy Penne directs a cast including Trent Sherman as Milne; Spencer Baker as Winnie the Pooh; Huck Collins as Christopher Robin and Piglet; Madi Kelley as Winnifred and Kanga; Luke Hanavan as Bernard, Owl, Eeyore, and Roo; and Adalyn Bell as Anne and Rabbit.
Performances take place October 15, 16, 17, 23, and 24 at 7:30 p.m. and October 18 and 25 at 3 p.m. All tickets to this family-rated show cost $10 each and are on sale now at tickets.parkland.edu.
