By Monica Dufault
Adapted from the children’s book by Kenneth Oppel

  • Peg, a brave young girl, embarks on a great adventure to climb Mount Everest. Along the way, Peg encounters water buffaloes, avalanches and even a mysterious Yeti. She and her parents ask the audience to help – can they use their imaginations to overcome each obstacle on her exciting expedition? Kenneth Oppel’s best-selling book is brought to life in this wonderfully magical and exciting tale, written specifically for children in JK to Grade 4.

    “PEG AND THE YETI is a triumph of imagination… The whole play was magical.”
    – London Community News

    “Leaves young minds (as well as their young-at-heart minders) wide-eyed with happiness, joy and amazement!”
    – JW Reviews

    “Thank you for the performance- the children (and adults) loved it!
    -Nancy – Rideau Heights Public School

    “My kindergarten class so loved your performance at our school they talked about it for weeks and drew yetis in their journals for days!”
    -Tina (Kingston, ON)

    “Probably one of the best things we’ve had at Drummond Central School!”
    -Margaret (Perth, ON)

    “All the students were able to enjoy the show which is a true accomplishment…you were able to entertain them all at their different ages and levels!”
    – Viki
