Shona Roebuck will direct the show being staged by interACT Theatre Productions, South Orange's resident community theatre. Performance dates are June 13-15.

The show is  based on the book by A.A. Milne and adapted by Kristin Sergel. Winnie-the-Pooh is Christopher Robin's fat little "bear of very little brain" who would like to drift peacefully through life, humming tunes and stopping frequently to eat "a little something." However, he finds himself involved in all sorts of frantic adventures, assisted by such friends as the dismal Eeyore, Piglet and Rabbit, with his countless relations. Pooh's intentions are always the best, but his passion for honey and condensed milk keeps getting him into trouble. When friend Piglet gets roped into Kanga's household and Kanga starts bathing him (with soap!) and forcing down spoonfuls of Strengthening Medicine, Pooh wants to fly to the rescue, but he's had so many snacks he gets stuck in the door. 

interACT plans to double cast this show to allow for as many children to participate as possible. There will be one cast for Act 1 and another for Act 2.
