PCS Children's Theater to Present A WINNIE THE POOH CHRISTMAS TAIL

You've shared countless stories with your children from the Hundred Acre Wood, now you can show them how close it is to home - because it's right here in Swarthmore.

And all of their favorite characters are here as well - from a donkey named Eeyore, to Kanga to Rabbit, Piglet, Owl, to the curious Christopher Robin and of course Winnie the Pooh and Tigger too - the classic characters come to life in a musical celebration geared for our youngest audiences.

Recommended for children age 3 and up, A Winnie the Pooh Christmas Tail, with music and lyrics by James W. Rodgers, is a family-friendly production for anyone of any age who not only loves the tales from Pooh corner but those who love the positive messages that embody the spirit of the holiday season.

A Winnie-the-Pooh Christmas Tail is a delightful tale that takes place in the Hundred Acre Wood on Christmas Eve. Christopher Robin tells the story of how Eeyore has lost his tail. Pooh and friends must work together to find his tail in time for the big holiday. Along the way, they learn the true meaning of Christmas spirit and friendship.

This interactive musical, the second production in this sixth season of the Players Club of Swarthmore Children's Theatre series, is scheduled to run six performances: Saturdays December 5, December 12 and December 19 with two performances each day at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. All performances are on the Players Club's Raymond W. Smith Stage on the second floor (straight up the steps as you walk in the front door of the theatre).

With Jessica Poulton of West Chester making her directorial debut at PCS, the cast features a cadre of local actors including Avery Leach of Clifton Heights (Christopher Robin), Jack Gallagher of Ridley Township (Eeyore), Nicola Gleason of Philadelphia (Winnie the Pooh), Jessica Nichter of West Chester (Piglet), Lacey Kurz of Haverford (Rabbit), Amelia SanFilippo of Springfield (Tigger), Laura Kuserk of Media (Kanga) and Children's Theatre regular David Griffith of Drexel Hill (Owl).
