It’s fun for the whole family!

LNT stage for two performances only: Friday, February 25 (at 6pm) and Saturday, February 26 (at 11am).

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!  “Theater FOR Kids, BY Kids”!

 

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,  Asst Choreography/Direction by Brandy Perez, and guest artists Isadora Snapp and AnnaMaria DiPietropaolo.

The designers are creating a wonderful, whimsical and joyful world -  which tracks the adventures all our friends have in these beguiling woods!

Tremendous thanks to our technicians and designers.
