Beautiful and poetic, THE MIRACULOUS JOURNEY OF EDWARD TULANE will make your heart swell. With a simple set, live musicians, and a tender story, this adaptation of the bestselling book comes come alive in a vivid, memorable experience on the stage.

Tossed overboard, thrown in a garbage heap, stuck in a hobo's knapsack, and used as a scarecrow, Edward, a vain rabbit doll, unexpectedly undertakes a perilous 20-year journey. Along the way, he sheds his arrogance, and his heart grows bigger and softer as he discovers the importance of people, friendship, and love.
