FREE OUTDOOR MUSICAL: “EcoDisaster in the Hundred Acre Wood”

A NEW MUSICAL BY SARAH SAFFORD, COMPOSED BY SEAN IVY

100 years ago Winnie the Pooh and his friends were introduced in an English magazine. Since then they have been endlessly adapted and taken on countless reimaginings by readers around the world.

Now, the Old Stone House & Washington Park Brooklyn take up the role of the Hundred Acre Wood. We see the familiar characters, (Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, Rabbit, Owl, and Roo) co-existing in a somewhat neglected ‘retirement community.’ They lovingly bicker and exchange grievances about their situation, singing and dancing through the park.

Can they break out of their familiar routines and comfort zones to save their Hundred Acre Wood?

How long is the show?

60 minutes or less with no intermission.

Will I need to move during the show?

Yes. The audience is invited to get up and follow the actors around the playground and Old Stone House, exploring the make-believe landscape of the Hundred Acre Wood.

There's an audience move every 5-10 minutes.

The show begins where it ends: East of the Old Stone House, on the Little Lawn.

Can I bring a chair?

Picnic blankets, and chairs are welcome and encouraged! But you will have to gather your things quickly to move to the next location.

Do I need a ticket?

No. All performances are free & open to the public. We strongly encourage you to RSVP so we can communicate about cancelations.

There is a suggested donation is $20 if you are able to contribute. Thank you!

What happens if it rains?

Because the show includes instruments and dancing, it will be cancelled in the event of rain.

The Friday, May 22nd show is a guaranteed performance. If it rains on the 22nd, the production will move inside Old Stone House's beautiful Great Room and be performed concert-style. The indoor version of the show can seat 60 audience members. First come, first serve.

We make the call by 5 PM (one hour before curtain).
