About Munschtime! — The World Premiere at Young People’s Theatre
A child pitches a tent in her grandparents’ backyard to camp out for the night. Thrilled with her newfound freedom, the girl prepares herself for endless fun. Her grandparents, however, want to bring the indoor notion of bedtime to the great outdoors. In their quest to get her to sleep, they enact classic Robert Munsch books, hoping that each new story will be the right fit to get her to settle down for the night.
Adapted by Stephen Colella and Allen MacInnis, Munschtime! is directed by Herbie Barnes and features Cheri Maracle, Dov Mickelson and Lisa Nasson. With Set Design by Robin Fisher, Costume Design by Sage Paul, Lighting Design by Michel Charbonneau, Sound Design by Cathy Nosaty, and Stage Management by Kathleen Harrison.
Robert Munsch is one of North America’s most beloved and best-selling children’s authors. His books are staples of many children’s libraries. Altogether, they have sold over 30 million copies and have been translated into over a dozen languages.
