Virginia Otis, an art major from Coeur D’Alene, Idaho is going to spend her junior year studying abroad. On scholarships and loans her first stop is England, where she will be attending art classes at the National Academy of Art and completing work study at Canterville Chase, a castle outside London.
The eldest of seven children who has never been out of the country, Virginia is primed to have the adventure of her life. What she encounters is not what she expected: a ghost laboring under a 100-year-old curse, an impoverished duke who is afraid of his shadow, and inspiration from the spirit of a mysterious, celebrated painter. Afraid of nothing and seizing the day, she boldly immerses herself into a world she’d only dreamed of, grows as an artist and faces the one thing she would never admit to being fearful of: falling in love.
Virginia is a positive role model for young women, self-assured, undaunted, inventive and resourceful. She develops a relationship with the reigning ghost and winds up helping him achieve what he most wants: to be reunited with his wife — not an easy task, because not only are he and his wife not speaking to one another, they are not even in the same realm. She braves many unknowns and is ultimately rewarded in many ways.
Ghosts. Magic. Art. Music. Love. Dancing. It all spins together in a sometimes humorous, sometimes chilling effervescent evening in the theater. This is a contemporary take on a beloved shortstory and the music style is Broadway-Pop.
How do people end up together? What makes people drift apart? Could one headstrong girl from the heartland of America solve a century-old riddle that has stymied people for ages? If you swear off love, does it mean you might find it in the most unexpected place? Are ghosts any different than the wireless signals that bombard our high tech world? Dare to check out iGhost and find out.
