Experience the Magic of Peter Rabbit Tales
OSKALOOSA, IA — “Once upon a time there were four little Rabbits, and their names were Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail, and Peter…” These famous lines captivated young audiences for over one hundred years. Now, the magic of Peter Rabbit Tales comes to the George Daily Auditorium stage on Monday, March 14 at 7:00 p.m.
Based on three of Beatrix Potter’s Peter Rabbit books, this play uses fantastic masks, whimsical puppets, gorgeous scenery, and original music to bring the magical, marvelous world of Peter Rabbit to life. Peter Rabbit, his sister Flopsy, and his cousin Benjamin are all grown up. Flopsy and Benjamin are married with bunnies of their own when the nasty badger, Tommy Brock, decides to steal the babies. Peter and Benjamin set off on an adventure to rescue them, and along the way, relive their childhood misadventures with Mr. McGregor and his cat. On their journey, they manage to avoid the dangerous fox and recruit a cheeky squirrel and a kindly hedgehog to help them find the bunnies. With adventure, drama, chase scenes, and of course, a happy ending, Peter Rabbit Tales is perfect for families and young children!
The George Daily Auditorium is also offering a free workshop with the Peter Rabbit Tales cast on Monday, March 14 at 2 p.m. This workshop will engage upper elementary through high school students with ways to show a story with movement and how characters can be developed through body language.
