Auditions: Blithe Spirit - April 2012

Wade Orth will be directing this classic comedy, written by Noel Coward. 

A comfortable, middle-aged couple entertain friends and the local medium for an evening of dinner and drinks.  They also plan an informal séance, expecting to get a few laughs. The contact with the after-life is more successful than they imagined and Charles’ late wife appears – only to Charles – resulting in hilarious double conversations with invisible people.
