The program will start off with a sing-a-long provided by children’s traveling showcase, the Sunshine Road, lead by Director and entertainer David Verdosci. Children will be invited to participate in familiar tunes and will be delighted by classic characters such as Winnie the Pooh played by veteran TOH performer from Thomaston, Connor Dunn, who was last seen in the LCT holiday production of a Christmas Carol. Pooh Bear’s friends, including little Piglet played by Megan Foell and wise old Owl played by Jonathan Yatco, both from Thomaston, are joind by a chorus of local actors that delightfully round out the youthful cast!
