The Canterville Ghost Haunts the Gaithersburg Arts Barn September 15 – October 1

From the City of Gaithersburg: In partnership with Montgomery Playhouse, Arts on the Green presents The Canterville Ghost by Marisha Chamberlain. The show runs September 15 through October 1, 2017, with performances on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. The Arts Barn is located at 311 Kent Square Road. Admission is $20, $12 for ages 14 and under. This show is recommended for ages 7 and older.

A no-nonsense American family buys an old mansion in rural England and scoffs at warnings of a fierce and violent resident ghost. The clever ghost is determined to scare them out, or worse, but the eccentric family has other plans. Enjoy a funny, raucous and poignant night at the theater.

This year marks the 15th theater season at the Arts Barn. In May 2002, the Arts Barn opened to the public with its first stage performance, a one-woman comedy titled “A Fresh of Breath Air” written by and starring Dale Stein. Since then, more than 180 theater productions ranging from comedy to drama to musicals have graced the Arts Barn stage.

Join us as we celebrate this milestone year at a special Anniversary Party on September 15 prior to the opening night of The Canterville Ghost. The celebration takes place from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Enjoy live music by Pritchard Music Academy, an art exhibit opening of “Celebrating 15,” featuring original artwork by Arts Barn faculty, and art demonstrations by resident artists Tony Glander and Jaree Donnelly. The event will also feature remarks by the Mayor and City Council and historical photographs depicting the Tschiffely-Kent estate will be on display.

The Arts on the Green Theater series is funded in part by a grant from the Maryland State Arts Council (MSAC). To discover more about MSAC grants and how they impact Maryland's arts sector, visit www.msac.org.
