THE VELVETEEN RABBIT Comes to ISU Theatre This Month

The Velveteen Rabbit comes to ISU Theatre this month. Performances run November 29 - December 9, 2023. The production is adapted by Amanda Petefish-Schrag and Ben Schrag, based on the book by Margery Williams, with original music by Ben Schrag.

The Velveteen Rabbit is a delightful, all-ages re-telling of the classic story by Margery Williams, adapted by ISU faculty member, Amanda Petefish-Schrag and Ben Schrag with original music by Ben Schrag. A five-member cast of actors/puppeteers bring the narration to life through the art of shadow puppetry. Children (and the young at heart) will be transported to a magical world where we explore what it means to be "real".

Run-time is approximately one hour
