Families in Reading, Berkshire, can take their young children to a new interactive theatre show called Rabbit On The Run at Reading Rep Theatre on February 17, 2026. The production is a local morning outing designed to give parents an affordable way to introduce children to live performances.
The play, written by Sam Amestoy, is specifically created for children aged between three and six years old. It follows a boy named George as he searches for his lost pet rabbit, Hoppy, using British Sign Language, songs, and activities involving shapes and numbers to engage the young audience.
Reading Rep Theatre has set ticket prices at £8 for children and £5 for adults to encourage more parents to attend with their kids. This residency at the theatre follows a tour of local libraries and community centres where the show is currently being performed for free to ensure all families can take part.
The event is listed on the community calendar managed by Reading Voluntary Action, which is the central body for supporting charities and community groups in the area. This show is part of a larger effort by the theatre to provide professional cultural activities for the local community.
