About The Flopsy Bunnies: A Peter Rabbit Adventure

Based on the Beatrix Potter story, the show joins Mama Bunny on a quest to find her missing flopsy bunnies. Follow her through Mr. MacGregor’s garden, tracing a trail of lettuce leaves in this fun, captivating play tailored for the very young. Be part of the joyous reunion of this bunny bunch, just in time for tea, with the assistance of a clever and resourceful friend. The play showcases actors Jennifer Whitcomb, who stars as Mama Flopsy, and Victoria Griffin, who plays Thomasina Tittlemouse. It is directed and created by Ernie Nolan, NCT’s executive artistic director. 

The Flopsy Bunnies combines curious whimsy with clever problem-solving. It has a playful storyline that encourages sharing, which is an important lesson for kids,” Nolan said. “We are excited to present another world premiere production to young audiences and to bring joy to the community through this story. This show beautifully highlights the remarkable talents and expertise of our actors and production staff.”
