The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane at The Cloverdale Playhouse
The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Donald Margulies is the third show of the 2025 Cloverdale Playhouse Season.
The show opens on Thursday, July 17, and runs through Sunday, July 27. Showtimes are at 7 PM on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and at 2 PM on Sunday.
The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane tells the story of Edward Tulane, an expensive toy rabbit made of china. He is loved by a little girl named Abilene, but Edward doesn’t care. He is vain and self-centered and has no interest in anyone other than himself.
On an ocean voyage, Edward is accidentally thrown overboard and sinks to the bottom of the sea. So begins his journey—a journey over which he has no control, for he is a toy rabbit and can neither move nor speak. As years pass by, Edward meets many different people in many different situations: an older grieving couple who find comfort in Edward’s presence, a hobo and his dog who introduce Edward to a whole community of homeless wanderers, a farmer in need of a scarecrow, a sad little boy and his very ill sister, and finally a doll mender and an old doll who teach Edward an invaluable lesson.
Through this miraculous journey, Edward learns what it is to love, what it is to lose that love, and how to find the courage to love again. Based on Kate DiCamillo’s beautiful novel of the same name, the play is a theatrical tour de force.
