WINNIE-THE-POOH has come to an end…for now!
Truly, it has been a challenging, rewarding, nervous, and joyful six months, bringing the adaptation from concept to staged reading reality. This script belongs to everyone who helped, in small ways and large, to make it a reality.
This ending is, of course, only the beginning, as the focus now turns to implementing feedback and edits from the Den Theatre reading, and then talking with companies about potentially staging the play in coming seasons. It will be slow-moving work, but when there are updates, this account will share them with everyone. Until then, be well, and we’ll talk soon.
“I’ll always be with you, Christopher Robin.” 🧸🍯

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the live staged reading of Groups of Ten or More People: Act II last night!
