Description

Let the WILD Rumpus Begin!

Hot on the heels of last year’s sold-out sensation, Max and the Wild Things roar back to the YPT stage. Embark on a magical interactive journey as you help transform Max’s bedroom into the legendary land of the Wild Things! Crowned their king, Max faces a big decision: rule the rumpus or return home? Based on Maurice Sendak’s beloved storybook, this adaptation has been hailed:

Playful in every sense – silly, fun, and filled with opportunities for us to stretch our imaginations. A pretty wild thing to see!
CBC

This production of Where the Wild Things Are is an interactive experience. Audience members will be seated around the performance area on three large mats, with limited chairs provided at the back for grownups who may require a seat.
