Noel Coward’s Blithe Spirit is a lighthearted and endearing spook-tacular comedy classic. Set in summertime in Kent, England, the play follows writer Charles Condomine who is working on his latest novel The Unseen. As part of his research, he and his wife Ruth host a séance with an eccentric medium known as Madame Arcati and invite their friends to play along. Things go decidedly wrong, and Charles suddenly finds himself face to face with the ghost of his deceased wife, Elvira... much to the chagrin of his current spouse, Ruth. Love and marriage devolve into laughter and mayhem when Ruth is accidently killed and united with Elvira on the “other side.” Together the paranormal pair of
blithe spirits haunt their hapless husband with hilarious consequences.
The cast includes Broadway veterans and AriZoni Award winning actors such as: Stephanie Likes (Mrs. Brandman), Tamra Mathias (Elvira), Jessie Jo Pauley (Edith), Dave Ray (Dr. Brandman), Tregoney Shepherd (Madame Arcati), Lana Shumway (Ruth), and Rob Stuart (Charles Condomine).
