Directed by Robert Zaccano, this much-revered classic from the playwright of PRIVATE LIVES offers up fussy, cantankerous novelist Charles Condomine (Gordon Einhorn). Charles is a successful and apparently happily married novelist. In order to conduct research about the occult, he and his second wife, Ruth (Stephanie Trdenic), invite an eccentric medium, Madame Arcati (Marcie Warner), to conduct a séance at their home with their friends Dr. and Mrs Bradman (Craig Stouffer and Marte Engle), assuming she will be a fraud. But, Madame Arcati's ability to connect with the dead is genuine and she inadvertently summons a ghost from Charles's past: Elvira (Rebecca Lease), his first wife, who has been dead for seven years and immediately sets to reclaim her place in the house and Charles' heart.

Also starring Caitlyn Davis as the hapless maid, Edith, this show will leave you breathless with laughter!

Blithe Spirit is produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc
