The Velveteen Rabbit presented by the Vero Voce Young Performers Series

Vero Voce Theater and School of Performing Arts presents 

THE VELVETEEN RABBIT (the musical) 

(ST CHARLES) It’s soon to be Easter and Vero Voce is proud to present "The Velveteen Rabbit ", the timeless tale of love and sacrifice as revealed through the story of a small stuffed rabbit given as a gift to a little boy.  The toy rabbit is made real through the child’s love, giving a tale both entertaining and genuinely moving thanks to Scott Davidson’s beautifully graceful adaptation of Margery Williams’ poignant children’s classic. Heart is the keyword here. This gentle and tender fable is ideal for both the young and the young at heart.  A timeless tale with a warm spirit, this play is the perfect option for an Easter treat for the whole family.
