This play will be part of our Theater for Young Audiences (TYA) series,
aimed at providing opportunities for children and their families to
experience high-quality theater while learning and practicing good audience
etiquette. Performances will be held May 4-12, with two performances
(afternoon and evening) on each Saturday and one afternoon performance each
Sunday.  Broadview Heights Spotlights’ Theater for Young Audiences Series
is supported in part by the residents of Cuyahoga County through a public
grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture.

Flexible cast of 18 (6M, 5F, plus 7 roles that can be either)

This enchanting version of the classic children’s story will touch your
heart.  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 and
costuming, 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.
