This adaptation sets Margery Williams classic story in post Civil War Savannah, where broken toys and wild animals lead the Velveteen Rabbit on a journey to becoming real.

  • Atlanta Theater Fans: “Set against the scenic back drop of The Grange Creek, the show unfolds delightfully as it amuses with Teagle’s humorous quips and penchant for weaving a touching and timely story.”
  • ArtsATL: “It’s both one the kids will enjoy, especially if they aren’t already familiar with it, and one that adults won’t have to roll their eyes and fidget through.”
