The Velveteen Rabbit
Performances December 7-16, 2018
by Philip Grecian
Directed by Katie Harrison
"There are two ways to be real," the Skin Horse says. "The first is when you are real to one special child, and the second is when you are real to the world." More than anything he wants to be a real rabbit—real to the world. One night the Toy Fairy offers him his chance, but he must leave with her immediately. The boy, who is ill with scarlet fever, will die without him. Will the Velveteen Rabbit go with the Toy Fairy, or will his love for the boy cause him to turn his back on the thing he wants most? If he stays, what will happen to him? This holiday favorite will delight you with comedy, warmth, adventure and a final triumph for the hero, who learns that love makes all things real.

Auditions - Blues for an Alabama Sky
Auditions Announced:
Blues for an Alabama Sky by Pearl Cleage
Directed by Renee van Nifterik with assistance from Jeff Merriman
About the Play
It is the summer of 1930 in Harlem, New York. Angel Allen is a down-and-out back-up singer who has recently lost her job at the Cotton Club and is drowning her bad luck in booze. Once again, she must depend upon her friend Guy Jacobs for support. Guy is a brilliant costume designer who dreams of sailing off to Paris to design clothes for Josephine Baker. Across the hall lives Delia Patterson, a dedicated young social worker, who is being courted by Sam Thomas, a local doctor, who embraces Harlem’s nightlife in order to forget his unending workdays and the grinding poverty of his patients.
New in town is Leland Cunningham, a young man who has just moved from a small town in Alabama following the death of his wife and unborn child. He is a hard-working, God-fearing Christian. He meets and is smitten with Angel.
These five characters include winners, losers, and users who all struggle as Guy says, “to look beyond 125th Street” for the fulfillment of their dreams.
Gas Stipend available for those who qualify.
