Plays & Players Present A WINNIE THE POOH BIRTHDAY TALE 1/16-24/2010

Plays & Players Family Series will present A Winnie-the-Pooh Birthday Tail January 16 - 24 on the Plays & Players Mainstage.

A very special Friend-and-Relation tells Christopher Robin a story of a Birthday very long ago (about last year) when Eeyore, the old donkey who lives by himself in the thistle corner of Hundred-Acre Wood, was absolutely miserable. It seems that he lost his tail and Winnie-the-Pooh and Piglet got all of their friends and a search was organized. There is a great deal of fun and excitement, plus delightful songs, in the adventure that follows.

A Winnie-the-Pooh Birthday Tailis directed by James Intracaso who has also directed Magic Time at the Collingswood Community Theater in New Jersey and The Amazing Spider-Man #12 of Plays & Players' Super Heroes Who are Super! series in the Philly Fringe.

A Winnie-the-Pooh Birthday Tail stars Ryan Walter as Winnie the Pooh, Brian McGrath as Christopher Robbin, Vegas Lancaster as Tigger, Maria Aromando as Piglet, Peter Andrew Danzig as Rabbit, Teri Leahy as Kanga, Tim Urian as Owl and Mike Seeley as Eeyore.
