Get Your Tickets: The Canterville Ghost Haunts Our Stage This January!
Mark your calendars, Viper families! Vandegrift Theatre is bringing Oscar Wilde's beloved ghost story to life with a hilarious twist this January 22-24, and tickets are on sale NOW!
But This Isn't Your Average Ghost Story...
Tim Kelly's adaptation flips the script on the classic haunted house tale. When the Otis family—your typical, no-nonsense Americans—moves into the historic Canterville Chase manor in England, they're warned about Sir Simon de Canterville, a 300-year-old ghost with a reputation for terrorizing anyone who dares live in his home.
But here's the twist: the Americans aren't scared. At all. In fact, they end up terrorizing him! Watch as daughters Pam and Wendy chase the poor ghost around with cans of hairspray, much to Sir Simon's horror. (Apparently, even the undead have standards about fair play.)
Desperate and flustered, Sir Simon calls in reinforcements—fellow ghosts including Hester the Horrid, Lady Joan the Graveless, and the Vampire Duchess. Add in a bumbling psychic researcher, a stuffy English staff, and mayhem ensues!
Of course, this being theatre, there's heart beneath the hijinks. Young Virginia Otis may hold the key to finally giving Sir Simon the peace he's been seeking for centuries.
