Description

Walking Plays are full-length plays, adapted exclusively for The Morton Arboretum and performed by local professional actors. A walk leader guides the audience to each scene, which takes place at several natural backdrop locations, along a one- to two-mile hiking route. Audiences are encouraged to bring water, portable chairs or blankets for seating, and bug spray.

Walking Plays take place on select Saturdays and Sundays. Performances begin at the Thornhill Shelter on the Arboretum’s West Side.

The House at Pooh Corner

In the second book of A.A. Milne’s beloved Winnie-the-Pooh series, The House at Pooh Corner, we meet Tigger. He joins the other friends of the Hundred Acre Wood as they tell a new, contemporary adaptation of this beautiful collection. Hilarious, touching, and full of useful lessons for the young and the young at heart, audiences of all ages will be charmed by a boy and his companions as they make their way through the woods together.

Each performance of The House at Pooh Corner begins at 6:00 p.m. and lasts approximately two hours.
