Velveteen Rabbit...

Youth Conservatory
Past Production - November 2008
Adapted by Scott Davidson
Directed by Amber Barnes

The Velveteen Rabbit is the timeless tale of love and sacrifice as revealed through the story of a small stuffed rabbit given as a gift to a little boy. When Scott Davidson’s sparkling adaptation premiered at the Serendipity Theatre Company in Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Times had this to say about it: “…a quality that sets it apart from many children’s theatre experiences: a rare and welcome sweetness. The tale of a toy rabbit made real through a child’s love is both entertaining and genuinely moving thanks to Scott Davidson’s uncloying, graceful adaptation of Margery Williams’ poignant children’s classic... Heart is the keyword here.” Also produced by The Children’s Theatre of Charlotte, this gentle and tender fable is ideal for both the young and the young at heart. A timeless tale with a warm spirit, this play is the perfect option for the holidays or any time of year.
