Attention teachers! We invite you to bring your students to a delightful school-day performance. Edward Tulane is an expensive toy rabbit made of china. He is vain and self-centered with no interest in anyone other than himself. On an ocean voyage, Edward is accidentally thrown overboard and sinks to the bottom of the sea. So begins his journey – a journey over which he has no control, for he is a toy rabbit. As years pass, Edward meets many different people in many different situations. Through this miraculous journey, he learns what it is to love, what it is to lose that love and how to find the courage to love again.
Curriculum connections: Communication and Language Arts, Literature-Based, Relationships and Family Produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY, INC., of Woodstock, Ill. The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane was originally commissioned, developed and produced at Childsplay in Tempe, Ariz. David P. Saar, artistic director; Steve Martin, managing director.
