 “The Velveteen Rabbit” is part of the Spotlights’ “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. 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.

Anyone interested in auditioning who cannot come on February 24^th should contact the director, Brenton Cochran, for alternate arrangements: fashionlovestheatre@gmail.com
