Actors' NET Presents BELL, BOOK, AND CANDLE, 10/30-11/15

Witchcraft conjures up laughs and romance in the Actors' NET of Bucks County production of John Van Druten's classic comedy Bell, Book and Candle. Running Oct. 30 – Nov. 15 at the Heritage Center in Morrisville, the stage comedy chronicles events after a sophisticated Manhattan witch casts a spell on a neighbor to make him fall in love with her. Add to the mix the witch's mischievous warlock brother and their ditzy aunt, who is also a witch, and one tipsy author who specializes in exposing the occult, and an evening of sure-fire laughs is on the agenda.

Virginia Barrie of Ewing, NJ directs Allison DeKorte of Southampton as the amorous witch, Gillian Holroyd, and John Bergeron of Morrisville as her love struck prey, Shepherd Henderson. Patrick Albanesius of Hamilton, NJ costars as Gillian's brother, Nicky. NET Co- Founders Cheryl and Joe Doyle also take to the stage as Aunt Queenie and author Sidney Redlitch. Rounding out the cast is the Doyles' cat Maximus as "Pyewacket," the witch's pet who as her familiar helps her to cast spells. 

Bell, Book and Candle performs at the Heritage Center, 635 N. Delmorr Avenue (Route 32), Morrisville. Show times are Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. Admission is $20 for adults, $17 for seniors and $10 for children under 13.
