The Canterville Ghost has been adapted by Marisha Chamberlain from the story by Oscar Wilde.

A no-nonsense American family buys a 500-year-old mansion in rural England, scoffing at warnings of a fierce resident ghost.  The spirited (and skeptical) Americans – Mother, Father, young Virginia, and her mischievous little twin brothers – find their match in the equally spirited and clever ghost, who is determined to scare them away.  Will they go, or will the ghost?

The Canterville Ghost will be presented by Beechmont Players July 27-August 4, 2018, at the Anderson Center, 7850 Five Mile Road in Anderson Twp. For tickets, call 233-2468 or click here.
