Information and 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. It presents various elements that make it enjoyable to all students, regardless of theage 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. -It challenges the student to understandEnglish 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. Teachers can use the written and audio resources provided to take advantage of this motivation. -Working with songs from the play is an excellent opportunity to learn new vocabulary while having fun. -Itentertains whilst extolling human values in the process. -It preserves the relationship between children and the art of theatre.
