TIDDELY POM’S FOR ALL
...at WCT’s ‘House at Pooh Corner!’

After a week-long run of sticky fun with Pooh, his honey pots and all his friends, Actor and puppet whisperer Stefano Giulianetti gets ready to close the doors on ‘House at Pooh Corner’ March 11th. This Western Canada Theatre production, directed by Heather Cant revels in the adventures of original author A.A. Milne’s iconic characters from the Hundred Acre Wood to the delight of Kamloops audiences.

Stefano welcomes the eager crowds as Milne and goes on to animate Pooh alongside talented cast members Randi Edmundson and Andrew Cooper who puppet Piglet, Tigger, Kanga, Roo, Owl, Rabbit and Eeyore (why is he always mentioned last?!) and with newcomer 11-year-old Deidrich Orton as Christopher Robin.

Kids of every age relish in the simplicity and joy of Pooh’s world as it’s lifted off the page on the live theatre stage with an incredibly accurate staging by WCT crew and designers. If you’re lucky enough to be in Kamloops this weekend visit the box office and come join the fun!  For fans that may not be in the area, enjoy some snaps from the rehearsal and production, and remember, Pooh and his friends are all waiting for you in the books!!!
