Enchantment Theatre Brings Peter Rabbit Tales to Thousand Oaks

In celebration of Beatrix Potter's 150th birthday anniversary, Enchantment Theatre Company brings the timeless adventures (and misadventures) of the author's beloved storybook hero, Peter Rabbit, to life with their delightful production of Peter Rabbit Tales to the Fred Kavli Theatre, Saturday, April 1, 2017 at 2:00 pm.

"Once upon a time there were four little Rabbits, and their names were Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail and Peter ...." These famous opening lines of "The Tale of Peter Rabbit" have enchanted young audiences for over one hundred years with the exploits of a charming hero, who, going against his mother's wishes, has adventures in Mr. McGregor's garden. Beatrix Potter created an instant classic with the little blue-coated rabbit who we recognize as both boy and rabbit, wild and civilized, and who has become an icon of childhood since he first hopped out of the pages of a storybook and into children's hearts.

"When Enchantment Theatre decided to make a play based on some of Beatrix Potter's stories, we wanted to use the tales about Peter Rabbit and his family; not only are they are delightful adventures, filled with humor, bravery and loyalty, but these stories are remarkably true to both animal and human nature," says Enchantment Theatre Company's Artistic Director, Leslie Reidel.

Featuring exciting costumes and fantastic animal masks, whimsical puppets, gorgeous scenery, and original music, the approximately one-hour show will transport young audiences and their parents into an enchanted story world where a now grown-up Peter Rabbit and his cousin, Benjamin Bunny, together embark on a breathtaking adventure reminiscent of their youthful escapades in Mr. McGregor's garden.

The performance is recommended for children ages 3 - 9.
