"Max and The Wild Things" is a delightful adaptation of the beloved children's book "Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak. This interactive and engaging show invites children into Max's wild world, where big emotions Rule.

When Max's mother catches him in the midst of mischief and calls him a "Wild Thing," she sends him to bed without supper. As the story unfolds, Max embarks on a fantastical journey into an imaginary realm, extending an invitation for the audience to join him on this captivating ride. Within this enchanting world, a dense forest filled with untamed creatures recognizes Max as their ruler. The questions linger: Will he ever find his way back home? Will he ever enjoy a proper dinner?

Join Max on this mesmerizing adventure, where the lines between reality and imagination blur, creating a timeless exploration of a child's dreams and the marvels of the unknown.

Through the enchantment of music, dance, and storytelling, Max learns invaluable lessons about:

Expressing Emotions: The young audience witnesses Max's emotional journey, allowing them to experience a range of feelings—excitement, sadness, joy, curiosity, and, of course, those universally recognizable "big emotions," enabling children to feel seen and heard.

Friendship: Max's encounters with The Wild Things illustrate the significance of building meaningful friendships and connections.

Imagination: We encourage children to unleash their creativity and embrace the boundless possibilities of their imagination.

Authenticity: Max's story imparts the power of staying true to oneself, a lesson that resonates with children of all ages.

"Max and The Wild Things" is written and performed by Hila Ben Gera and directed by Ruby Rees, promising an unforgettable journey into a world of wonder and self-discovery.
