TTHE VELVETEEN RABBIT Opens at TYA This April!

By:
Theatre for Young America presents The Velveteen Rabbit, running from April 11th to May 13th, 2017. This play is a faithful adaptation of the beloved book by Margery Williams. It is a story of love, reality and imagination all centered on the deep bond between a toy rabbit and boy fighting illness. "What is Real?" the Velveteen Rabbit asks the Skin Horse. "Does it hurt?" There is magic, comedy, adventure and triumph in this wonderful tale set in a modern-day library.
