`VELVETEEN RABBIT' TICKETS

Mill Mountain Theatre will present "The Velveteen Rabbit," a children's musical, April 22-May 2 on its main stage.

The story by Barnes Boffey and Paul Pilcher is a fantasy about how the power of love brings a young boy's favorite stuffed toy to life. The play will feature 27 children playing bunnies and toys, and other professional actors.

Several showings will run Thursdays-Sundays for $6 adults and $3 children under 12. The final show will be signed in American Sign Language for the hearing impaired.
