The Adventures of Superbunny (Episode 5)
The Adventures of Superbunny (Episode 5) will be presented at the NY Theater Festival’s SummerFest (newyorktheaterfestival.com) by non-profit theatre company Rabbit Hole Theatricks, Inc. (www.RabbitHoleTheatricks.org). Thumperino Superbunny returns for his fifth musical adventure and this time the stakes are higher than ever. The Adventures of Superbunny (Episode 5) is based on an award-winning series of children’s books by Amber L. Spradlin.
The Adventures of Superbunny (Episode 5) stars a house rabbit from Queens, who possesses mysterious super powers and his best pal Veronica, a street wise bunny who works as a therapy pet at the New York Public Library. Together the two must use their brains and their brawn to stop a villain who has stolen all of the library books in the City and is bent on destroying technology. Can Superbunny save the day or will his greatest vulnerability be used against him? Entrada Publishing called this tale “A sweet story of mystery and adventure that teaches kids of the importance of books in our society, as well as that it’s ok to be different.”
The Adventures of Superbunny (Episode 5) will feature the song “America at its Greatest,” a tune which gives voice to the message that this country is strongest when Americans build bridges of understanding, not walls. The theme is further conveyed through the use of sign language during the song’s chorus. This multi-disciplinary approach to music builds those bridges so kids can learn a new tool for communicating with each other to problem solve and to have fun. At its core, the Superbunny series is about teamwork, believing in one’s self, and overcoming challenges.
The Adventures of Superbunny (Episode 5) has book and lyrics by Michael MacKenzie Wills (writer/director of the MAC Award-winning Operation Opera and The Cow Named Cow musicals), music by C. Colby Sachs (composer of the MITF award-winning The Princess, The Cow, and The Corn Maze), and choreography by J. Joseph Burke (A Superbunny Christmas). Starring Erik Jonathan Shuler in his epic return to the crowd pleasing role of Thumperino Superbunny, Matt Haas (Midtown International Theatre Festival’s Best Actor) as Felonious Farghoven, Meghan Bailey (original cast album of Bystander) in her Rabbit Hole Theatricks debut as Veronica. Based on the children’s book Thumperino Superbunny and the Laser of Doom by Amber L. Spradlin, winner of the 2019 Purple Dragon Fly Award and the National Indie Excellence Award.
