Maryland Ensemble Theatre's (MET) family theatre, The Fun Company is proud to present Winnie the Pooh. From the stories of A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh welcomes you to the Hundred Acre Wood, where A.A. Milne's beloved bear of very little brain is happily singing "Isn't it funny how a bear likes honey," when the terrible trouble begins. Join Piglet, Eeyore, Owl, Rabbit and Christopher Robin as they try to figure out what to do! Winnie the Pooh learns that anything is possible with a team of friends.
Since 1926, Winnie the Pooh and his friends have stood the test of time as the unforgettable creations of A.A. Milne, who wrote the book for his son, Christopher Robin, based on some of his imaginary friends and Ernest H. Shepard, who gave Pooh and his companions shape. These characters and their stories are timeless treasures that continue to speak to children spanning generations and will continue to do so for years to come. Director Bethanie Herman is thrilled to bring this play to life. "I am so excited to be directing Winnie the Pooh," Herman says. "Like many children, Winnie the Pooh held a very special place in my heart. This production has given me a glimpse back to some of the happiest memories from my childhood. It's pretty fantastic that I now have the opportunity to bring a new vision to this script and offer it up to new generations. I'm honored to present a childhood classic that will hopefully warm hearts and inspire young minds."Videos
