For more than a century, The Velveteen Rabbit has captured the imaginations of children and families with its timeless message about love, friendship, and what it means to become real.
When a shy toy rabbit is given to a young boy as a Christmas gift, he longs to become real like the rabbits in the garden. Through conversations with the wise Skin Horse and the friendships he forms in the nursery, the Velveteen Rabbit learns that becoming real has little to do with how you look and everything to do with being loved.
Filled with humor, imagination, and heart, this adaptation brings the beloved story to life for a new generation. Audiences will meet a cast of toys, animals, and nursery characters as they follow the Rabbit’s journey from an overlooked toy to something truly special.
Presented as part of Theatre in the Grove’s youth theatre program, this production showcases the creativity, dedication, and talent of young performers while offering an experience that children and adults can enjoy together. Whether you grew up with Margery Williams’ classic story or are discovering it for the first time, The Velveteen Rabbit: A Toy Story is a reminder that kindness, friendship, and love can transform us in unexpected ways.
Join us for a family-friendly theatrical experience that celebrates the stories that stay with us long after childhood.
