Peg and the Yeti is an adaptation of Kenneth Oppel’s children’s book that features a brave young girl named Peg who sets out on a great adventure to climb Mount Everest.

After dodging an avalanche, she befriends a mysterious Yeti who helps her reach the top of the mountain.

Christine is mad at Joey, her boyfriend. She suspects he knows something about a racial incident in their neighbourhood and he’s not telling. He’d rather talk about basketball, their upcoming romantic getaway or complain about homework. As the truth is revealed, both Joey and Christine must come to terms with their relationship, their beliefs, their culture and identity.

This play is an honest portrait of a young high school couple as they face issues of dating, trust, family pressures and prejudice. It encourages teens to examine their values, talk about racism and communicate their feelings about doing the right thing.

Aaron discovers a mouse in his house. His normally fearless mother jumps up on the table and sends him down into the basement to get rid of it. The brave young mouse uses toys, word games and active participation by the audience to convince Aaron to let her stay. In the end, they both gain a friend.

Carousel Players is thrilled to be presented by Theatre Direct and to be returning to Toronto with our Dora Award nominated production. This engaging play for children inspires creativity, imaginative play and promotes storytelling. Young audiences will continue to enjoy this story about tolerance, character development and children solving their own problems.
