Open Auditions
The Velveteen Rabbit
by Margery Williams
Adapted for the stage by Phil Grecian
(A BLT Youth Troupe production)
Directed by Sonia Arnold
"There are two ways to be real," the Skin Horse says. "The first is when you are real
to one special child and the second is when you are real to the world." The Velveteen
Rabbit is real to Alex, the boy. More than anything the Velveteen Rabbit wants to be a
real rabbit -- real to the world. One night the Toy Fairy offers him his chance, but he
must leave with her immediately. The boy, who is ill with scarlet fever, will die without
him. Will the Velveteen Rabbit go with the Toy Fairy, or will his love for the boy cause
him to turn his back on the thing he wants most? If he stays, what will happen to him?
Margery Williams' beloved tale is faithfully told and carefully expanded for the stage.
The Velveteen Rabbit provides audiences of all ages with comedy, pathos, adventure
and a final triumph for the hero, who learns that love makes all things real.
