Margery Williams’ classic tale comes to life in this production with hand puppets, story telling, and song. "The Velveteen Rabbit" tells the story of a boy and his favorite stuffed animal as they grow up together in the nursery. Although the other toys in the snub the rabbit for his simple fabrication, the boy's love makes the rabbit feel real. When the boy falls ill with Scarlet Fever and the rabbit gets taken away, the magic of true friendship saves the day.
