About the Production:
Based on Kate DiCamillo’s beautiful novel of the same name, the play is a theatrical tour de force for the Denver Children’s Theatre ensemble of professional actors and musicians. Presented in the beautiful Elaine Wolf Theatre, THE MIRACULOUS JOURNEY OF EDWARD TULANE promises an enchanting, moving and thought-provoking experience for young audiences from elementary to middle school—the rare piece that can appeal to a diverse set of age ranges both visually and thematically.

About the Story:
Edward Tulane is an expensive toy rabbit made of china. He is loved by a little girl named Abilene, but Edward doesn’t care. He is vain and self-centered. He has 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. He can neither move nor speak. As years pass by, Edward meets many different people in many different situations: an older grieving couple who find comfort in Edward’s presence, a hobo and his dog who introduce Edward to a whole community of homeless wanderers, a farmer in need of a scarecrow, a sad little boy and his very ill sister, and finally a doll mender and an old doll who teach Edward an invaluable lesson. Through this miraculous journey, Edward learns what it is to love, what it is to lose that love, and how to find the courage to love again.
