Information & Booking

What level is the play for? The play can be seen by students of all ages and levels that have had a minimum of approximately 150 hours of English instruction. The workbook has activities to work in class with different aspects of the English language. The play presents various elements that make it enjoyableto all students, regardless of the age group. We suggest listening to the songs in class and working with the plot before seeing the play (especially with young children).

What are the advantages of this type of activity when learning a language? -It increases the student’s interest in learning the language and he or she discovers that English is also useful outside the classroom. -Itchallenges the student to understand English spoken by someone other than his or her teacher, thus improving the student’s listening comprehension. -In the days prior to and following the event the students are highly motivated due to the expectation of watching the play. Teachers can use the written and audio resources provided to take advantage of this motivation. -Working with songs from the play is anexcellent opportunity to learn new vocabulary while having fun.

Can the play be presented at my school? Yes, the play can be shown at your school if it has adequate space and a minimum number of students attending. Artspot carries its own set and professional technical systems. Contact our Teachers’ Help Desk for more information.
