Youtheatre Presents: Corduroy
Presented in Collaboration with Allen County Public Library
Part of Youtheatre's 'Stories from the Stacks'
Directed by Leslie Beauchamp
Everyone’s favorite teddy bear is stepping out of the department store and into the spotlight! When a teddy bear with a missing button dreams of finding a home, he sets off on an unforgettable nighttime journey of curiosity, courage, and a little bit of mischief though an empty department store. Based on the beloved children’s books “Corduroy” and “A Pocket for Corduroy,” the play celebrates friendship, belonging, and the magic of being loved just the way you are. Perfect for families and young theatre-goers, CORDUROY features playful storytelling, imaginative staging, and plenty of cozy moments that will delight children and adults alike.
