Official cast list |

This enchanting version of the classic children’s story will touch your heart.  Unbeknownst to Andrew’s grumpy nursemaid, there is a life to the playthings on the floor and in the toy cabinet. When the lights go out in the nursery, Timothy Lion, Train Engine, Skin Horse, Model Boat and Velveteen Rabbit all spring to life.  Actors represent the ’spirit’ of each toy-chattering, bickering and sharing their feelings in hilarious and touching interactions.  With narration by the tender and grandfatherly, Skin Horse Spirit, you’ll laugh and cry along with the characters as they endure the trials and tribulations of their unique experiences – especially the Rabbit Spirit, who learns about love when he gains the affection of the young boy.

Mercuri as Helsa Wenzel, Lolli Mitchell as Nikki Crandal, George Merusi as Eddie McCuen, Jennifer Lockwood as Marjorie Baverstock, Chuck Larkowski as Roger Hopewell & Melissa Ertsgaard as Bernice Roth

The creative team responsible for a recent Broadway flop, in which three chorus girls were murdered by the mysterious “Stage Door Slasher,” assemble for a backer’s audition of their new show at an exclusive Westchester estate. But the infamous “Slasher” reappears and strikes again—and again.  As the composer, lyricist, actors and director prepare their performance, a blizzard cuts off any possibility of leaving. Bodies start to drop in plain sight, and the bumbling police inspector who snowshoes in to investigate helps solve the mystery in the nick of time and the “Slasher” is ultimately unmasked.
