‘Winnie the Pooh’ opens children’s theater troupe Under the direction of new dra- matics adviser Mr. Marty Stiglitz, student actors presented “Winnie the Pooh” Oct. 31 in the cafeteria. Establishing Wilcat Kiddie The- ater with “Pooh,” thespians hoped to book additional performances. Forest setting consisted of a rab- bit hole made out of plywood, wooden doors and trees, and a mus- lin stream. Chicken wire, muslin and wood provided materials for tree stumps and the owl’s house. Linda Meggers played Pooh; Bob Silverman, Christopher Robin; Mike Kozlowski, father; Mike Burrows, Eeyore, the donkey; Mitch Thomas, Piglet; Micheline Harris, Kanga; Tina Perez, Roo; John VanNatta, Rabbit; and Diana Shoup, the owl. Spooning tonic, Kanga (Micheline Harrisl pretends not to notice Piglet’s (Mitch Tho- mas) impersonation of kidnapped Roo. “Tut, tut, looks like rain,” say Pooh (Linda Meggers) and Christopher Robin (Bobby Silver- man) in a tactic aimed at diverting a swarm of bees’ attention from a cache of honey. Forest residents Eeyore (Mike Burrows), Pooh, Owl (Diana Shoup) Christopher Robin, Rabbit (John VanNatta), Kanga and Piglet rally with the North Pole to rescue Roo (Tina Perez), whose off-base leap landed in the stream.
