Winnie the Pooh

by A.A. Milne

During a single year in the Hundred Acre Wood, Pooh, a bear of Little Brain, finds his love for honey somehow always makes him a hero of adventures: getting wedged in a tight spot, finding Eeyore’s tail, trapping a Heffalump, locating the North Pole and courageously rescuing his best friend Piglet. A whimsical, musical and hilariously funny new family show.

Dracula

by Bram Stoker

Transylvania... midnight... remote Castle Dracula. What have you got to do to get a drink around here?
