The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane

Directed by Nichela Urbanciz

The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane is a heartwarming play based on the novel by Kate DiCamillo. It follows the story of Edward Tulane, a proud and selfish porcelain rabbit who embarks on a transformative journey after being lost at sea. Through his adventures, Edward encounters various characters and experiences love, loss, and self-discovery. As he learns to care for others, Edward's emotional growth turns him into a more compassionate and humble being. The play explores themes of love, change, and the importance of connection.
