Experience the joy and heartache of unconditional love as a child’s new Christmas toy, a saw-dust-filled velveteen rabbit, grows shabbier yet more real every day. From its first introduction to the other toys in the nursery to its magical transformation to a real rabbit, Velveteen stands out as a true friend whose only wish is to protect the child−even through a serious illness that threatens both their lives. With delightful roles for young actors and a story that will warm the hearts of audiences of all ages, The Velveteen Rabbit is the perfect choice for kids and families at any time of year, but especially during the holidays. Skillful staging throughout the script provides easy transitions from toys to live actors without the need for special effects.  $20 Single Use Copyright Fee plus $50 Royalty per Performance for Amateur Theatre.  Professional Theatre Royalties Calculated on Application.
