ArtSpot Theater Booking: Nearly 200 Children and Adults Watch The Canterville Ghost Together
We booked out an entire theater and invited nearly 200 children and parents to watch an English stage adaptation of Oscar Wilde's classic story, The Canterville Ghost. Before the show, Jungle Lion international teachers sat beside the stage and read the storybook with the children to introduce the characters.
During the show, the actors walked into the audience to interact with the children. In the post-show talk, children raised their hands without hesitation to ask the actors questions in English and spontaneously discussed the characters' moral choices in the story.
The ArtSpot theater booking takes place every year. The 2026 production is Amazonia; see the ArtSpot page for details.
• Read an adapted version of the original story before the show to understand characters and plot
• Listen for English spoken with non-native and regional accents
• Ask questions and follow-ups in an impromptu post-show Q&A
