2. You Said It: “There stands the stage with nothing but three stumps and fake trees with one tree riddled with cute purposely-misspelled old-school wooden signs giving confusing directions and… a tail on it.” — Patch blogger Camela Speer with a behind the scenes look at Winnie the Pooh, a stage production at the Workhouse Arts Center in Lorton.
