Cast announced for The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane

Rehearsals have begun for the cast and crew of MVLCT’s winter production, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. Based on the children’s book by Kate diCamillo, this stage adaptation by Dwayne Hartford allows an ensemble of actors to tell the story of Edward, a beautifully made toy rabbit with a trunkful of different outfits but no heart. Edward’s adventures and the characters he meets make for an engaging folktale appropriate for all ages. The storytellers are Kim Benesh, Mary Blacharski, Emma Castiblanco, Bill Croghan, Carley Hutson, Braden JP Rood, and Amy White. Grant Freeman is directing, assisted by stage manager Audrey Tucker. Performances are February 25 and 26 and March 3, 4, and 5 at 7 PM and February 27 and March 6 at 2 PM in the Uptown Theatre in the First Street Community Center, 221 1st St. E., Mount Vernon.
