How to Build a Hundred Acre Wood

Here is Popcorn Theatre Designer Christopher Otwell's white model for The House at Pooh Corner. The play, adapted by Bobb James, travels to many places in the Hundred Acre Wood. This is the model Chris brought to the first production meeting to show the director, Trinity Bird, how the set might work. This is a composite of all the pieces used in the show. They don't play on stage at the same time. Those who saw the show will notice that this rough idea for Eeyore's house changed.
The map, taken from the fly leaf of the book, is the connecting link for all the locales. Here is the muslin stretched and ready to paint.
Here the color is just beginning to be added.

The completed map still at the scene shop. Chris estimates that the map alone took about 15 hours to paint.

The completed map in place, with one of the the small bush pieces. The House at Pooh Corner plays thorough the 28th of June.
