Tickets are now on sale for Blithe Spirit at the Fletcher Collins Jr. Theatre, on the Mary Baldwin College campus. This production of Noël Coward’s classic farce, directed by Professor Terry Southerington, opens on October 2, 2013, and continues through October 6, 2013. Show times are 7:30pm Wednesday through Saturday and 2pm Sunday.
Blithe Spirit, Noel Coward’s 1941 comedy about a novelist with two wives-one alive, one dead- a delightfully eccentric psychic, a seance gone awry, and the hilarity that ensues, is “frightfully funny.” The London premier, which bolstered British morale at the height of the Second World War, ran for a record breaking 1,997 performances.
The Mary Baldwin cast includes undergraduate students Tiffany Waters as Elvira, Amy Verberg as Mrs. Bradman, Molly Chase as Edith, and graduate student Jordan Leigh Zwick as Ruth. Local veteran actors Ben Houseknecht and Mike Lafferty round out the production in the roles of Charles and Dr. Bradman, respectively.
