- A young boy’s love and a little nursery magic bring this classic bedtime story to life before your eyes. Watch the velveteen rabbit join his boy on exciting imaginary adventures, from deep caves to the wide-open sea, building an unbreakable bond. Together, they learn the true meaning of friendship.
-Based on one of America’s favorite storybooks written by Margery Williams, ‘The Velveteen Rabbit’ is an imaginative performance designed to enhance the theater experience and increase literacy in the arts. This charming adaptation is performed by one of Anchorage’s favorite touring companies for youth and family audiences: Pushcart Players.

Dazzling Visuals Bring Well-loved Tale to Life! Lightwire Theater’s innovative electroluminescent puppetry brings these classic tales into a new and brilliant light! No words are used in this dazzling, fast-paced production all ages will enjoy. See ‘The Ugly Duckling’ come to life through masterful puppetry, cutting-edge technology, moving sculpture and dance. “The Ugly Duckling” is a fairy tale with the moral lesson for people to accept themselves for who they truly are and raises questions about bullying and discrimination.
