“When a child loves you for a long, long time...then you become real.” So says the Horse to the Velveteen Rabbit in Margery Williams’ famous and much-loved literary classic. A plush rabbit, given as a gift to a young boy, yearns for the day when the boy will love the rabbit enough so that he can become real. An original musical score, live singers, life-sized puppets, masks, and magic bring this charming tale of love and devotion to life.
