The Velveteen Rabbit at South Coast Repertory

The story follows a lonely and forgotten stuffed rabbit who longs to be real. He was "fat and bunchy, as a rabbit should be; his coat was spotted brown and white, he had real thread whiskers, and his ears were lined with pink sateen." When another toy is lost, he quickly becomes a little boy's new favorite. As the rabbit's dapper appearance gets worn and shabby from play, a wonderful change begins to happen. This moving story about the power of love—and a little bit of magic—is perfect for the whole family. Saturday, June 8, at 2 p.m., is an American Sign Language-interpreted performance.
