Praise for Wide Open’s Munsch Shows:
“We have had Wide Open perform in our school
for the past 3 years, and their performances
continue to be fresh and entertaining for
students and staff alike. The Wide Open
performance continues to be a
highlight of the school year.”
Jeff Fisher, Wynyard Elementary School
“...Outstanding! [They] really knew how to get
young children ready to sit and listen. They
prepped them well and the play was action
packed. We would like to see the Wide Open
Performance become an annual event in our
Community. ”
Sherry Detchon, Pewasenakwan Primary School., SK.
“More than a hunch you’ll love Munsch.
How is a presentation of children’s stories by
Robert Munsch like a rock concert? I’ll bet that
by the end of this well-constructed hour, Mom
and Dad are having as much fun as their kids.”
The Edmonton Sun
“...simplicity, sophistication and humour
... the masterful puppeteering of
THANK YOU VERY MUNSCH.”
