Featuring the Sherman Brothers’ classic Grammy Award-winning music with further songs by A.A. Milne, this beautiful, fresh stage adaptation is told with stunning life-sized puppetry through the eyes of the characters we all know and love in a new story from the Hundred Acre Wood.

The production is by renowned family entertainment creator Jonathan Rockefeller—the mastermind behind recent Hylton Family Series presentations of The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show and Paddington Gets in a Jam—and is made by Rockefeller Productions alongside Disney Theatrical Productions. Following a record-breaking New York premiere in 2021, the Hundred Acre Wood is heading across the United States straight to the Hylton Center’s Merchant Hall in 2023! (Recommended for ages 3 and up)

Tickets are $35. The run time is 60 minutes with no intermission.

The Hylton Performing Arts Center is located on George Mason University’s Science and Technology Campus in Manassas.
