School Day Performances

Winnie-the-Pooh

Step into the Hundred Acre Wood and experience the heartwarming magic of Winnie-the-Pooh live on stage at Theatre in the Grove! This family-friendly production brings the beloved characters—Pooh Bear, Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore, and more—to life in a whimsical tale filled with friendship, imagination, and adventure.

Perfect for young audiences and nostalgic for adults, the show features lovable characters and a playful atmosphere that captures the spirit of A.A. Milne’s classic stories.

This show is performed by local youth actors.

About this Program

Theatre in the Grove is scheduling 3 days of performances on February 9th, 10th, and 12th at 9:30AM and 12:30PM.  Running time of the performance is approximately 90 minutes.  The afternoon show concludes by approximately 2PM.

This has proven to be a popular program in the past with us selling out every show.  Therefore we encourage you to reserve your space as soon as we begin taking reservations. We prioritize in order we receive the reservation as well as prioritize FGSD elementary schools first, local area (outside of FGSD) public elementary schools, local area private schools, and finally home schools.

Prices

Tickets are $8 per person (student & adult); however, Theatre in the Grove believes strongly in making the arts accessible for all. If you feel that your student body would qualify for a reduced ticketing price of $5 (such as being a Title 1 school), please let us know so that we can work together to ensure that your children are able to join us for this memorable experience.

How to Participate

1. Reserve your space today using the link to the left. At this point, we only need an approximate headcount and the date/time of your preferred performance.
2. In early January we will ask for a final headcount and then will send an invoice to your school based on that headcount.  We are unable to change headcount after we invoice you.
3. We must receive payment (card or check) by January 23, 2026.We will send out instructions about loading & unloading students about a week before the performance.

Safety

Please note that we restrict ticket sales of performances during the week to students, chaperones, teachers, and our staff to maintain a safe environment for students attending.  Our volunteers have had background checks.  We work with the school districts to ensure that classes are seated together.  If you work in a private school or home school, we will require the chaperones to provide proof of a recent (1 yr) background check. This is simply to ensure the safety of all students attending.

We look forward to filling our theatre with the sound of your students’ laughter!  For more information, please contact education@titg.org.  To reserve your class’ spot, please fill out the reservation form.

How it Works

Step 1: Reserve a block of seats for your class/school. This does not commit your class/school to actually attend, but it does allow us to reserve a block of seats for you.

Step 2: We will contact you to let you know which performance date we were able to secure for you and alsto to get a final headcount.  This is the number that we will invoice your school regardless of how many students actually attend the performance.

Step 3: All payments must be received by Jan 23, 2026. We accept check, ACH, or credit card payments only.  We do not accept cash nor day of performance payments.

Day of Show

Your class must arrive by 9:00AM for the 9:30AM show or 12:00PM for the 12:30PM show.  Please keep your students on your bus (or other transportation) until our representative comes out to get you.  We ask that students come into our theatre in a single file line & we will direct you to your seats.  There will be multiple classrooms and schools attending the same performance, so we need for this process to be orderly.

Please remind your students and chaperones on proper theatre etiquette prior to arriving:

• No running in the theatre
• Entering and exiting the theatre should be orderly
• Remain in your seats during the entire show.  No one should leave their seats until the show is over unless there is an emergency.
• No talking during the show, but laughing is perfectly fine!

We will have a representative greet your group, but we are volunteers and are not able to provide any supervision for the children. That is the school’s responsibility.  If a child needs to use the restroom, we ask that a chaperone accompany them.

After the show, we ask that your students exit the theatre as a group, again in an orderly line to load on their bus.

We expect that this performance will last 95 minutes, so please have your transportation ready to load students back up at 11AM.

Our concession stand will be closed during these performances. We have a gender neutral and wheelchair accessible bathroom on our main floor, a ladies bathroom on our second floor, and a men’s bathroom on our lower level.
