Reviews

"Bry Kifolo’s adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s 1887 short story, “The Canterville Ghost” is an unexpectedly poignant tribute to the original comedy." - Thomas Mullen, Port Townsend Leader

"This is an excellent performance, emotional, heartfelt, and humorous, easily handling that line between funny and corny without stumbling over."

"Key City Public Theatre’s production of The Canterville Ghost is perfectly timed for the Halloween season. It’s spooky, but not too scary, and it’s funny. This new adaptation of the Oscar Wilde story takes some risks against the original story... it’s a version that knows what it wants to say, says it, and fills the rest with a lot of heartfelt humor." - Greg Heilman, Heilman & Haver

Directed by: Allen Fitzpatrick

Adapted by: Bry Kifolo, with original music by: Linda Dowdell

THE CANTERVILLE GHOST will be the first show of Key City Public Theatre's 65th Anniversary Season, an Equity union theatre house in Port Townsend, WA. The show is a chilling and humorous story filled with romance and redemption by Oscar Wilde, 19th century Ireland's celebrated and scandalized master of biting wit. Adapted by local queer playwright Bry Kifolo with original music by Linda Dowdell and directed by Allen Fitzpatrick (Les Miz, Memphis, 42nd Street, Damn Yankees), this world premiere kicks off a season of majority new works and prioritizes the hiring of local talent and creatives here in the Pacific Northwest. Rebounding from the pandemic, this arts hub is the bedrock of the Olympic Peninsula community and continues to rise to the occasion with stellar productions that are uniquely crafted to inspire.

Why it's a must-see:

Spectacular stage magic and spooky special effects in a haunted house set full of surprises.
An Oscar Wilde story you can't see anywhere else- frighteningly fun for Halloween.

This show is recommended for ages 8+ and includes strobe lights, loud noises, and special effects.
