Lost Nation Theater's Back to the 100 Acre Wood: Winnie-the-Pooh Revue, an original dance-theater show, storms the LNT stage for two performances only: Friday, February 25 (at 6pm) and Saturday, February 26 (at 11am).
Join Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore, Christopher Robin, Rabbit, Roo, and all your favorite AA Milne characters as we revisit the adventures, simple wisdom, silliness, and friendship of the 100-Acre Wood through athletic adagio, contemporary dance, hip-hop, song, story and inventive design. The show features 18 rising stars, age 6 though 20, performing on-stage and behind the scenes to create imaginative, fun, and entertaining dance-theater for all to enjoy!
The brainchild of quadruple talent Taryn Noelle and our founding artistic director and resident playwright Kim Allen Bent, LNT's Back to the 100 Acre Wood: Winnie the Pooh Revue also features original songs.
Ms. Noelle (well-known award-winning actor-dancer-choreographer-singer and educator) says: "As we were brainstorming ideas for this year's Camp, I was struck by stories that felt timeless yet timely. I realized the beloved characters in A.A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh series feel like the very dearest of friends. The kind you only need think of, and suddenly they appear right there in your mind and in your heart. Once we remembered Pooh… that was it!" Over the past two years, as our world has learned to navigate the trying times of this pandemic, it's especially wonderful to tell a story about the joys of childhood, family and lifelong friendships that have and will remain as eternal.
The ensemble of Finn Bearsch, Lydia Bearsch, Alexander Clayton, Ariabella Clayton, Isabella Estrada, Everett Gill, Elena Guadagno, Savannah Light, Elizabeth McCusker, Emma McCusker, Erik Mohlman Julia Perez, Sophia Perez, Maggie Redmond, Mia Roy, Joy Santana, and Emanuel Van Fleet, spot-lit by technician Jason Perez, create the world and inhabitants of the Wood to retell these terrific tales, 'revue-style".
They are supported by Lost Nation Theater's crackerjack professional team of directors and designers. In addition to the work of Ms. Noelle (director), Mr. Bent (playwright/design), the show features tunes by Kathleen Keenan, Scenic/Prop Design & artistry by Claiborne Coyle and Todd Hanley, Lighting Design by Samuel J Biondolillo, costuming assistance from Cora Fauser, Technical Direction by Robyn Osiecki, Asst Choreography/Direction Brandy Perez, and guest artist Isadora Snapp.
