In the play, Edward Tulane, a toy rabbit made of china, becomes unwillingly tossed into a journey he didn’t plan on taking. Yet, through this miraculous journey, Edward learns what it is to love, the sorrow of losing that love, and how to find the courage to love again. Adapted by Dwayne Hartford from Kate DiCamillo’s beautiful novel of the same name, this music-filled play for children and youth is adult-friendly.
