Corduroy
An expansion of the beloved picture book that follows Corduroy throughout the department store in search of his missing button while pursued by an increasingly exasperated Night Watchman. Little Lisa, in the meantime, searches for a way to win over Mom so she can give the bear a loving home. The tender, enduring story about longing, determination, and true friendship stirs up the stage with a rumpus of action, joy, and pathos.
