Mainstage Season
The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane
Adapted by Dwayne Harford from Kate DiCamillo’s beloved novel, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane is more than a children’s story—it’s a profound exploration of love, loss, and emotional awakening, brought to life by an intimate ensemble of actors and musicians.
Edward, a porcelain rabbit once too vain to love, is cast adrift—literally and figuratively—on a journey through the hands and hearts of strangers. Though he cannot move or speak, Edward becomes a silent witness to grief, resilience, and hope, ultimately discovering the courage to love again. The play’s emotional depth and minimalist storytelling offer a rare opportunity for audiences to reflect on empathy and transformation in a world that often rushes past both.
- Saturday, Sept. 27, at 2 p.m. in the Glenn~McGinnis Hall located in the Clegg Fine Arts building
This all-ages show is brought to you free by The Fred Register Endowment for Children’s Theatre at Young Harris College.
