A Story That Deepens the Artist and Strengthens the Heart
Not every theatrical journey is about singing and dancing. Some stories invite performers to dig deeper—to listen more carefully, connect more honestly, and discover the power of storytelling through character, voice, and imagination.

 

The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane is a moving and beautifully crafted play based on Kate DiCamillo's beloved novel. Through the extraordinary journey of a porcelain rabbit who learns what it means to love and be loved, students will explore themes of empathy, loss, resilience, hope, and human connection.

Designed for performers looking to grow, this production places a strong emphasis on acting, ensemble storytelling, character development, and emotional authenticity. Students will learn how to bring complex characters to life while discovering the unique power that live theatre has to move an audience.
