Winnipeg’s most famous bear makes a return appearance to help us celebrate MTYP’s 30th birthday season. As if by magic, the entire theatre will be transformed into the world of Winnie-the-Pooh, including the Hundred Aker Wood. House at Pooh Corner opens its doors to only 160 people at a time to ensure an intimate experience for audience members big and small. Superb music, puppetry without strings and a children’s choir complete this irresistable winter-holiday treat!
“An audience of youngsters, attending a school performance this week at MTYP’s enchanting production of House at Pooh Corner, were riveted by the sight of their beloved Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Piglet and Eeyore. This gorgeous piece of theatre will send more than a few MTYP patrons home to dust off these stories to read, and appreciate, once again.”
