BUNNICULA Will Feature Abe Goldfarb, Prescott Seymour and More Off-Broadway

This spring, Off-Broadway's acclaimed DR2 Kids Theatre (Daryl Roth, Producer) continues its partnership with Theatreworks USA (Barbara Pasternack, Artistic Director; Ken Arthur, Producing Director) -- the nation's leading not-for-profit professional theatre for young audiences -- to present "Rabbit Season" at the DR2 Kids Theatre.

"Rabbit Season" features celebrated live stage productions for families at Off-Broadway's DR2 Theatre, located in the heart of Union Square at 103 East 15th Street.

The season kicked off last fall with an acclaimed ten-week production of the new stage play based on the beloved children's tale, THE VELVETEEN RABBIT.

"Rabbit Season" continues this February with Bunnicula: A Rabbit Tale of Musical Mystery, featuring a book by legendary New York playwright and Tony Award nominee Charles Busch (The Tale of the Allergist's Wife), music by Sam Davis and lyrics by Drama Desk nominee Mark Waldrop (When Pigs Fly).

BUNNICULA begins performances on Saturday, February 9, 2013 and officially opens on Sunday, February 10 (4 p.m.). The production plays a ten-week limited engagement through Sunday, April 14.
