The final of three performances of the No Boundaries Youth Theater (NBYT) production of The Velveteen Rabbit will be today.
The play, performed by twenty-two children and youth, from ages six to sixteen will have its final performance on Sunday, December 9th, at 2:00pm.
NBYT says, the play is, “the story of a toy rabbit who longs for nothing more than to be real,” adding that,
this magical story explores themes of friendship, love, and overcoming insecurity—all coming to life in a world with plenty of talking toys, a magical nursery fairy, real rabbits, one very real boy, and many others!
The performance of the play will be at Holmes Elementary School. The Holmes School is located at 2150 Stanley Street.
Ticket prices are $13 for adults and $11 for children, students and seniors.
The production of the play is sponsored by the Community Foundation of Greater New Britain.
No Boundaries Youth Theater, formerly called the New Britain Youth Theater, says,
NBYT produces a season of performances by and for children and young adults, provides in-school and after-school arts-integrated and arts-enrichment educational programming, and offers drama classes and individual coaching and lessons. NBYT is dedicated to enriching the lives of children and young adults by encouraging creative thinking and collaborative teamwork, fostering self-confidence and self-esteem, and developing social, emotional, and academic skills through involvement in high-quality, low-cost programs in the performing arts.
In 2017, Connecticut Magazine named NBYT as Connecticut’s “Best Children’s Theater”.
