Written as a "memory play," THE VELVETEEN RABBIT is an emotional journey through time told through the eyes of a young man looking back on his childhood. By reliving the relationship between his four-year-old self and his favorite toy (the Velveteen Rabbit), he rediscovers the true meaning of friendship.

By Max Bush.  An encore success at Chicago’s Goodman Theatre, here is a fantasy adventure through mist, myth and magic.  The conflicts are both external and internal as the voyagers make a passage into self-discovery.  Three settings: throne room, aboard the “Dragonfly,” and the beach at Aalmauria. Medieval costumes. CAST: 7 (3 F, 4 M), or 5 minimum (2 F, 3 M) with doubling.

The castle and lands of Meaghan, a strong young Queen, are threatened by an impending ice-age. In an ancient manuscript the Queen reads of a mystical flame burning in a cave on the island of Aalmauria. Queen Meaghan summons Captain Taran and his ship, the “Dragonfly”, to sail her to the island of Aalmauria to steal the enchanted Flame. The journey proves almost impossible because of mistrust among the shipmates.  The magician sets a spell on the feuding Captain, Mate, Queen and Daughter--and leads the crew safely through the Isles of Mist to the enchanted isle of Aalmauria.  There they must face the Beast and Hag-Witch to pass into the cave, where they just then confront the awesome power of the flame itself. But once the Flame is secured, jealousies flair again, and only the act of laying down one’s sword will calm the angry Flame and allow the crew to safely reach their frozen land.
