NAPLES, Fla. — If your kids have a desire to act on the stage, they may have a "hunny" of a time with a Disney classic.
Golisano Children's Museum of Naples (CMON) and Gulfshore Playhouse are partnering to produce "Winnie the Pooh KIDS," a hybrid educational experience and dramatic performance.
"Students and parents alike will take a trip to the Hundred-Acre Wood with Christopher Robin and all of his animal friends," museum leaders said in a statement.
Auditions will be held Oct. 20 for children between the ages of 8 and 13. Those selected will go through two weeks of classes and rehearsals designed to encourage confidence and creativity.
It all leads up to a pair of performances scheduled for Nov. 17.
