Celebrate The Season With Valley Youth Theatre’s 14th Anniversary Production Of The Holiday Musical A Winnie-The-Pooh Christmas Tail
Phoenix – Valley Youth Theatre’s 14th anniversary production brings everyone’s best pals – Pooh, Piglet, Christopher Robin, Tigger, and of course, Eeyore – together LIVE on stage just in time for the holidays.
This production is the classic tale of friendship, thoughtfulness, and holiday spirit. Eeyore is gloomy on Christmas Eve since his “very handsome tail” is missing. Pooh, Piglet, Rabbit and Tigger organize the whole Hundred Acre Wood gang into a search. Will the friends find the tail in time for the Christmas Eve party? Based on the beloved stories by A.A. Milne, with music and lyrics by James W. Rodgers, this production is sure to be a holiday hit with all ages.
