BunnyBoy, the 2019 Laurie Award Winner from The Growing Stage’s New Play-Reading Festival, introduces you to Peter, a sixth grader, through a series of accidents, develops superpowers and becomes Bunnyboy. Now what? Peter and his friends, Skip and Karen, discover it’s complicated being a superhero – there’s no manual. And when Bunnyboy has to face an actual super villain, the Animal Master, is he up for the task? And will he get his homework in on time?
BunnyBoy features the talents of six Professional Equity Artists: Davis Cameron Lemley of Cedar Grove (Dr. Seuss’s The Cat In the Hat, The Wizard of OZ) as Bunnyboy; Jason Pumarada of Union (Disney’s Beauty And The Beast, Dr. Seuss’s The Cat In the Hat) as Skip/Murray; Olivia Clavel-Davis of Newton (Elf the Musical), as Karen/Louie; Nikole Rizzo of Netcong (Matilda the Musical, The Wizard of OZ), as Mrs. Droning; Tony Ardolino of Newton (The Wizard of OZ) as Kess and Lori B.
