BLITHE SPIRIT to Play The Sherman Playhouse

On April 29, The Sherman Playhouse will open its 2016 Season with its premiere of Noël Coward's classic comedy, Blithe Spirit.

Blithe Spirit is a comic masterpiece, which playwright Noël Coward described as an "improbable farce." It concerns Charles Condomine, country gentleman and author, who invites the spiritualist Madame Arcati to his home for a séance. Madame Arcati unwittingly brings Elvira, Charles' first wife, back from "beyond." Elvira cannot be seen or heard by anyone except Charles and wreaks havoc with Ruth, Charles' present wife. And, of course, mayhem ensues.

The production features a talented cast of area actors: Patricia Michael (Dover Plains, N.Y.), Lauren Hoag (Yorktown Heights, N.Y.), Kit Colbourn (Fishkill, N.Y.), Michael Wright (Newtown), Steve Stott (Brookfield), Lynn Nissenbaum (New Milford), and Gillian Previn (Bridgewater).

Blithe Spirit is under the direction of Katherine Almquist of Sharon.
