Spotlight on Youth
Presents “The Velveteen Rabbit”
Families Love this Tender Tale!
Bring the whole family for this lovely, charming production of “The Velveteen Rabbit.” This production is in the intimate, up close and personal Biltmore Studio at the Village Theater at Cherry Hill. Seating only 100 audience members, every seat gives the audience a feeling of being up close and part of the action on stage! Tickets are only $10 each! Michigan playwright Susan Berg of Lake Orion adapted this version of The Velveteen Rabbit for the stage. She says: “The heart of the story has an ageless truth … Simply stated, love is what makes us real.”
Director Barbara Bloom of Novi says: ” Perfect for children 5 and up! Michigan playwright Susan Berg has adapted this classic tale to share about a young boy who is beginning to grow up and how he wonders if he is too old for his toys. He loves his toys and as we come to find out, love is what makes a toy “real.” Velveteen is a favorite of the boy and she longs to become real. A special appearance from the Garden Fairy changes things in a way that neither the Velveteen Rabbit, nor the Boy will ever forget!”
This play is about 1.5 hours and has a 15 minute intermission. This charming show will have many sweet moments and even a dance or two! Reserve your seats now, limited seating. Tickets are only $10! Click here to purchase tickets.
No stranger to adapting fairy tales to the stage, Susan Berg said: “I have written nine adaptations of classic fairy tales and all of them have been produced. … (for The Velveteen Rabbit) the copyright expired and it became public domain … I thought a modern story would be a nice change of pace.”
