Description

A Munsch-Loved Adventure!

Step inside the wonderfully wacky world of Robert Munsch – Canada’s best-loved children’s author! Jam-packed with joy, this whimsical award-winning adaptation brings to life five modern classics: Mortimer; The Paper Bag Princess; Murmel, Murmel, Murmel; Zoom!; and Love You Forever. Prepare yourself for delightfully noisy bedtimes and a blowhard dragon leaping from the page to the stage! Whether it’s your first Munsch adventure or a nostalgic return, the whole family will love this celebration of childhood – from its funny frustrations to the unbreakable bonds we share with the ones we love most.

Content Advisory:
There will be special effects used in this performance, including haze, fog, flashing and moving lights, as well as some loud sounds.
