HOPKINS, Minn.- Stages Theatre Company (STC) is thrilled to present the young reader favorite, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. Based on the award-winning book by Kate DiCamillo, this is an adventure that will capture your heart. When Edward Tulane, a china rabbit with a strong personality, falls into the ocean, he embarks on a remarkable journey of self-discovery. While flying through swirling winds, fumbling along train tracks, and wrapped in the arms of children, Edward learns what it means to be truly loved and to love in return. The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane is the second production of Stages Theatre Company’s “Mystical Season of Adventure”.

The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane will be presented on the mainstage at the Hopkins Center for the Arts in downtown Hopkins. This play with live music is best suited for audience members ages 7 and older.

“I am deeply passionate about the themes in this story, especially the novel’s quote, ‘If you have no intention of loving or being  loved, then the whole journey is pointless.’ This makes me so excited for audiences to see this beautiful story come to life on stage; It carries such meaningful messages about love, growth, and facing life’s challenges. I feel incredibly grateful to be a part of it. The story is deeply moving - it’s a production families won’t want to miss!”
