Hebron Theater will perform its One Act play, “Edward Tulane,” on March 30 in the auditorium at 7 p.m with a $5 admission fee. The performance was originally performed for UIL, with a public performance for parents prior, and has been worked on since the beginning of February.

“[Edward Tulane] goes through all these experiences, and it’s supposed to tell [the audience] that life is a journey, and when the journey is through, you’ll [come out] a better person,” head director Scott Crew said. 

The story revolves around Edward Tulane (played by junior Kyler Beck), a stuffed rabbit who gets separated from his original owner and goes on to experience many more before finally reconnecting with the original owner, a little girl who received the rabbit as a gift in the past and lost him at sea. Throughout the story, Edward meets a variety of characters and adopts different roles in doing so, such as a scarecrow for an old woman and a dancing rabbit for a little boy and his dying sister. 

“This play [is an] environmental type of play and most of the actors have never done that before,” Crew said. “So for them, that was most likely a challenge.”

The play was originally an old children’s story and was meant for readers to view the experience of life through Edward’s eyes as the plot progresses. 

“This is [the] tenth One Act play I’ve directed, and out of all, [this play] is the best acted play and my favorite [that] I’ve directed,” Crew said.
