Inspired by A.A. Milne’s classic characters, the beloved 50 Acre Wood is in the midst of a civil war. Throughout this multi-year conflict, childhood friends Winnie, Christopher, and H.P. Piglet find themselves on different paths. H.P. struggles with the moral dilemmas of being a soldier, Christopher discovers what can happen when the powerless gain power, and Winnie is on the run for dodging the draft. Part war epic, part whimsical absurdism, this play looks at how people justify violence, the lengths you’ll go to defend what you believe in, and if fire is fought with fire - will the acres just burn to the ground?

In two original writing and performance programs Artistic Director and Founder Thurman E. Scott teaches innovative creative expression techniques to adult immigrants and their descendants, and homeless children and autistic youth.

• My Immigrant Life Story: Adults share insights about their journeys to the US, struggles, and dreams to build a more inclusive future. By empowering them to share their diverse life experiences and cultures, we learn and understand how we're all connected.
• Builders of the New World: Children learn reading, writing & presentation skills to build a disciplined vision of education and a positive intention in life as leaders in their communities.
