Carousel Theatre for Young People presents Where the Wild Things Are, Presentation House Theatre’s production based on Maurice Sendak’s beloved storybook, at Performance Works on Granville Island from March 10 to 22.
The wild rumpus has returned—and audiences can jump right in for the ride. During this highly interactive production, viewers get to help Max transform his bedroom into the many landscapes of his adventures, and sail along with him to the land of the Wild Things.
Where the Wild Things Are is a guided play experience adapted from Sendak’s timeless tale. After 20 years and more than 1,000 performances all around North America, this truly is a classic piece of children’s theatre.
Directed by Keltie Forsyth, the production stars Victor Mariano as Max and Linda Carson as Max’s Mom and the Narrator. It is recommended for children ages three to seven and their favourite grown-ups.
Tickets are available through Carousel Theatre.
