Hundred Acre Park

  Book and Lyrics by  Rose Farrell 🍯 Music and Arrangement  by Olivia Berkson


   Get lost with Pooh, Piglet, and the gang in this folksy musical retelling of A.A. Milne’s classic Winnie-the-Pooh tale, with puppets! The Hundred Acre Wood becomes a Hundred Acre Park, adapted for today’s young ones growing up in an age of climate change and urban sprawl.

Come visit Bugboro, the buzziest, busiest bug colony this side of the Schuylkill, and meet the big personalities of a tiny community. Through immersive free roam storytelling and sensory activities children will get to join the town themselves, learning what it means to be part of a community.
