The Kirk Players, in collaboration with Cuneo Mansion and Gardens, will present the holiday favorite “The Velveteen Rabbit” in December.

Performances will open with matinees at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 1 in the Grand Foyer of the Cuneo Mansion. Additional performances can be seen at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 2, and Saturdays and Sundays through Dec. 23.

Seating is limited so call today, at (847) 521-6192, or visit www.kirkplayers.org for tickets. Ticket prices are $5 for children under 12, $7 for adults.

This beautiful rendition of the beloved children’s book by Margery Williams is sure to create holiday enchantment for your family.

The story centers on a young child who receives a stuffed velveteen rabbit for Christmas. The rabbit is shunned by many for the more expensive toys in the nursery so it befriends a “skin horse” who explains what it means to be “real.”

The child’s love for the rabbit makes it real and allows it to overcome all of its fears.

As a special treat, the cast will provide some audience participation games during the presentation.

Also, bring a toy for Toys for Tots and enjoy a free cup of hot chocolate.
