Christopher Robin has decided to run away with his friends, Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, Tigger and the rest, for there is a dark, mysterious threat that Christopher is to be sent away to “Education.” Nobody knows exactly what or where that is, and what will his friends do without him? However, as the situation becomes clearer, Christopher Robin isn't quite so sure that running away is the answer.
Appearing onstage are Mark, Adam, and Samantha Noble of Green Brook; Emily, Andrew, Kit and Mari Rusiniello of Somerset; Alison Byrne and her sons, George Rateau and Billy Rateau, of Metuchen; Faith and Caden Dowgin of Spotswood; Leigh Steinberg of Somerset (son of director); John Zengerle of Piscataway; Tina Lee of Somerset (mother of choreographer Melissa Pinto of Middlesex); and Lindsay Solomon of Spotswood.
“As you can see by the cast, it is not unusual for Circle to feature multiple family members in our children's shows,” said Faith Dowgin, president of Circle Players. “Parents often drive here from great distances to audition with their children and are thrilled to be working alongside them. It's a way of having fun and uniting in a common interest.”
