An enchanting version of the classic children's story, The Velveteen Rabbit, will touch your heart! Margery Williams's timeless tale of the transformative power of love pivots around the themes of becoming one's self, developing positive human relationships and coping with a dynamic changing world.

The shy Velveteen Rabbit befriends the tattered Skin Horse, the wisest resident of the nursery, who reveals the goal of all nursery toys: to be made "real" through the love of a human. "'Real isn't how you are made,' said the Skin Horse. 'It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.'"

Unbeknownst to Andrew's grumpy nursemaid, there is a life to the playthings on the floor and in the toy cabinet when the lights go out in the nursery Timothy Lion, Train Engine, Skin Horse, Model Boat and Velveteen Rabbit all spring to life.

Actors represent the "spirit" of each toy-chattering, bickering and sharing their feelings in hilarious and touching interactions. With narration by the tender and grandfatherly Skin Horse Spirit, you'll laugh and cry along with the characters as they endure the trials and tribulations of their unique experiences-especially the Rabbit Spirit, who learns about love when he gains the affection of the young boy.

The raggedy stuffed bunny is with him every moment until Andrew comes down with scarlet fever and the doctor orders all bedding, including the much-loved toy, to be burned. Rabbit Spirit escapes that terrible fate by a "hare," finding himself among the wild rabbits and the beautiful nursery magic fairy. With a late-Victorian flavor in the dialogue, this adaptation creatively and beautifully renders for the stage the miraculous story of a stuffed animal made real by a child's love and a little magic.

No previous experience is required to participate in this youth production. For ages 5-12.
