The Veleveteen Rabbit was written and directed by Katie Mangett. Music and lyrics by John Paul Sharp. The show was produced by the Curtains Up Theatre Company in Wheatridge, Colorado. Working with and for children was a new experience for me and I became so much better for it! We were able to sell out over ten performances.
