Knuffle Bunny

This weekend I closed a show called Knuffle Bunny (pronounced Kuh-nuffle) based on the book by Mo Willems of the same name. Maggie really liked the show. She saw it three times. 

She came to visit my tech table and got to throw all the cue lights.

 Mo Willems came to our performance Opening day. When he walked into the Green Room, Maggie handed him a pair of bunny ears which he donned immediately and wore through the curtain speech. He signed Maggie's copy of Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed for her and gave her a temporary pigeon tattoo.

Maggie found the Pigeon at the High Museum.

 This is the show Knuffle Bunny. Maggie was giving him a hug and telling him it would be alright. She was a little freaked out by the Bunny getting lost...

For her birthday, we commissioned a Knuffle Bunny from the lovely Props lady who made the show bunnies. Maggie was so excited. She squeezed him and jumped around and squealed and said "it's my bunny!!!" and was so happy she was almost crying.

While we were setting up for the Closing Toast, Deb brought out all the bunnies and Maggie was in heaven.
