About Christopher Robin Is Dead


Christopher Robin Is Dead is a new musical being developed through a Theatre Now residency, culminating in two public developmental readings at the Depot Theatre.


This developmental reading gives the writer an opportunity to hear the work with performers, explore the musical in rehearsal, and learn from an audience before determining its next stage of development.


Synopsis


Christopher Robin Is Dead uses the whimsical world of Winnie-the-Pooh to explore the enormity of grief and the absurdity of loss.


When Christopher Robin leaves the forest, never to return, the creatures he created must confront his absence. As their new reality takes hold, questions arise and relationships shift, and their community fractures around them. Pooh and his friends struggle to honor Christopher Robin while forging a new path forward without him.


Through the lens of characters and material from A.A. Milne’s beloved short stories, Christopher Robin Is Dead offers compassion and hope to those who carry the absence of a person they love.

The Creative Team

Theatre Now's developmental productions are made possible through the collaboration of writers, directors, musicians, performers, and creative artists who help bring new musicals to life.

A Developmental Reading

Every new musical follows a different path to production. At Theatre Now, we work closely with writers to identify the next meaningful step in the development of each show.

​Christopher Robin Is Dead is currently being developed through a Theatre Now Writers Residency in association with The Depot Theater. During the residency, the creative team explores the script and score in rehearsal before presenting two public readings.

What is a developmental reading?

A developmental reading is an opportunity for writers to hear their musical performed before a live audience while continuing to develop the work. Unlike a finished production, the focus is on exploration, discovery, and artistic growth.

These performances are an important part of the development process. Audience members have the opportunity to experience a new musical while it is still evolving and to support the artists as they continue shaping the work.

​A wine and cheese reception will follow each performance.

Land Acknowledgement

 

Our office is on the original homeland of the Munsee Lenape tribal nation. Theatre Now acknowledges the painful history of genocide and forced removal from this territory, and we honor and respect the many diverse Indigenous peoples still connected to this land on which we and our artists live and work.

 

As an organization and as artists, we often gather in virtual space. Take a moment to consider the legacies of colonization embedded within the technologies, structures, and ways of thinking we use every day. We are using equipment and high-speed internet not available to all communities. Even the technologies that are central to much of the art we make leave significant carbon footprints, contributing to changing climates that disproportionately affect indigenous peoples worldwide. Theatre Now invites you to join us in acknowledging all this as well as our shared responsibility: to make good of this time, and for each of us to consider our roles in reconciliation, decolonization, antiracism, and allyship.
