Musical interpretation of Velveteen Rabbit scheduled in Katy

Katy Visual and Performing Arts Center to host a performance of the musical "The Story of the Velveteen Rabbit."

Performances are scheduled at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 5 and 2 p.m. Sunday, April 6.

According to a center release, "With a Victorian flavor, this heart-warming musical creatively captures the enchantment of the original story about a stuffed animal made real by a child's love. The magic begins each night when the lights go out in the nursery, and Timothy Lion, Train Engine, Skin Horse, Model Boat, Velveteen Rabbit and all the other toys in the cabinet come to life representing the 'spirit' of each toy with their entertaining and touching exchanges. Narrated by the grandfatherly Skin Horse Spirit, you'll laugh and cry along with the characters — especially the rabbit spirit, who learns about love when he gains the affection of the young boy, Andrew. Like a favorite stuffed animal from childhood, this delightful musical will touch your heart and remain forever in your sweet memories."

Katy Visual and Performing Arts Center is at 2501 S. Mason Road, Suite 290, Katy.
