The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, A Play
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sun, 02/24/2019
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 accidently 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. 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.

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.
Based on Kate DiCamillo’s beautiful novel of the same name, the play is written by Dwayne Hartford, Artistic Director at Childsplay in Tempe, AZ, where all of his plays for young audiences have premiered. This adaptation has been called a theatrical tour de force.
Produced by special arrangement with DRAMATIC PUBLISHING, Woodstock, Illinois.
