Daddy’s Rabbits, A Cotton Tale, written and directed by Carla Parker, runs Aug 10-31 at Ochre House Theatre. A special Monday DWYC night will be Aug. 19, and American Sign Language Professionals will be interpreting on Aug. 24.

Ochre House Theater closes their 16th Season with the World Premier of DADDY’S RABBITS. Mommy (Marti Etheridge) and Daddy (Omar Padillo) run a quaint boarding house, where eccentric boarders reside together in perfect harmony, along with Daddy’s hutch of Jack Rabbits. Life is “status quo” until a stranger (Meagan Harris) arrives. DADDY’S RABBITS is an enchanting, immersive world of magic, music, spectacle, and long forgotten fables that promises to be another Ochre House Theater Production you won’t forget.
