Adapted by Dwayne Hartford. From the book by Kate DiCamillo.
Directed by Julia Kreutzer
When Edward Tulane, a vain and self-centered toy rabbit, is accidentally thrown overboard while on an ocean voyage, he is catapulted into an incredible adventure. Over several decades, Edward’s travels take him across the country, relying on the generosity of strangers from vastly different circumstances. Through this miraculous journey, Edward experiences love, loss and heartbreak, ultimately asking how we can find the courage to love again. Based on Kate DiCamillo’s beautiful novel of the same name, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane is simultaneously thrilling, moving and magical.
