Winnie the Pooh
Join Christoher Robin and that “Silly Old Bear,” Winnie the Pooh, for a cozy adventure perfect for young audiences ages 0-10. We’ll search for honey, do some exercise and take a balloon ride with Pooh Bear. We’ll also make a honey bee craft, throw a make-believe party and tumble along the nature center trail with the characters. Wigglers welcome! Jacqueline Stone, director of last year’s Peter Rabbit, adapts this beloved A.A. Milne classic. Presented by Theatre Across Borders.

Previous Shows and Programs
Theatre for the Very Young
Our Theatre for the Very Young shows engage the youngest of audiences anywhere from 0-12. These shows are highly interactive, sensory-friendly, and developmentally appropriate for little ones. The first show The Adventures of Peter Rabbit reached over 1,300 audience members. We partner with local organizations such at the Pikes Peak Library District, The El Paso County Nature Centers and Green Box Arts Festival to bring the show to yoU!
Theatre Hikes
Unlike a traditional play, small audiences move from scene to scene along a 1-mile trail. Actors stay in their assigned spots, greeting a new group every 15 minutes. Site-specific and highly interactive, our theatre hikes keep young audiences captivated with a variety of characters and talents on display (magic, puppetry, stilt-walkers, music and dance, swordfights, even giant puzzles).
Science to Stage
Fifth-graders study a science topic through interactive workshops, acting games and creative problem-solving. They then use that knowledge to develop the plot, setting and characters of a brand-new play! Professional actors take their show on tour across the city. Science to Stage promotes arts-integrated learning for creative classrooms.
Project 206: A Great Bones Adventure (Spring 2023)
There are 206 bones in the human body, and Gavin the Explorer will need every last one to complete a daring rescue mission. Can he outwit the shadowy agent who wants to steal the lab’s secrets for herself? A Science to Stage play about the skeletal system.
Ghost Fish (Fall 2022)
Legend has it, there’s a fish that makes wishes come true. But not every wish is a good wish, and not every face along the path is a friend. “Ghost Fish” featured monsters, magic, mermaids, pirates and puppets. A theatre hike for families of all ages.
Push, Pull, Split, Spin (Spring 2025 and 2022)
When a doll runs lose in a toy store, simple machines spring into action! Developed with a local 5th-grade class in our Science to Stage program, “Push, Pull, Split, Spin” toured 17 schools.
Magic of the Marsh (Summer 2020)
Mire the witch has stolen the Neverflower, throwing off the delicate balance of the marsh. Do you have what it takes to restore nature’s cycle of growth and decay? Outwit the goblin, dance with the princess and soothe the beast of the tall grasses. Just watch out for fairies! A theatre hike for ages 5 and up.
