ODC/DANCE PRESENTS THE BELOVED ANNUAL DANCE THEATER PRODUCTION OF THE VELVETEEN RABBIT AT YERBA BUENA CENTER FOR THE ARTS November 23-December 9, 2007 A holiday tradition, The Velveteen Rabbit is a dance/theater production choreographed by ODC's KT Nelson. Based on the classic English children's tale by Margery Williams, the story centers around a lovable stuffed velveteen rabbit that comes to life through the love of a little boy. In The Velveteen Rabbit, Nana, who stands 10 feet tall, oversees the toys that share the nursery with the rabbit: a skin-horse, toy soldiers, a crocodile, rag dolls, and, in the garden, a pack of real rabbits. ODC's adaptation includes dancing, narration and music in this enduring tale about love, loyalty and growing old. The show is suitable for children 4 and up including the child in every adult. The running time is one and a half hours with one intermission (Act I -- 50 minutes; Intermission -- 20 minutes; Act II -- 25 minutes)
