Local talent will be front and centre when Carousel Theatre brings its production of a children’s classic to life in March.
The Velveteen Rabbit is onstage at the Waterfront Theatre March 3 to 25.
It stars three actors - New Westminster native Victor Mariano, with Amanda Testini and Steffanie Davis – who bring the beloved children’s storybook to life. The stage is transformed into a children’s nursery complete with a rocking horse, a cavalcade of mechanical toys, a kind-hearted fairy and a toy rabbit who is transformed by one little boy’s love.
The stage version of the story is adapted by Kevin Del Aguila from the book by Margery Williams.
It’s aimed at children aged three to eight, with their grown-up companions.
The Velveteen Rabbit is on in preview March 3 at 2 p.m., with its official opening on March 4 at 2 p.m. A special relaxed performance is set for Saturday, March 10 at 2 p.m. for anyone who could benefit from a more sensory-friendly experience. For the full performance schedule, see www.carouseltheatre.ca.
Tickets are $35 regular, $29 for seniors and students and $18 for young people. See tickets.carouseltheatre.ca or call 604-685-6217.
