Our fall production of our 87th season will be “Blithe Spirit “by Noel Coward, directed by Troy Pepper. Director Pepper has directed Blithe Spirit before in 2005 as his Players directional debut. Now he is revising the comic play 20 years later. The play concerns the socialite and novelist Charles Condomine, who invites the eccentric medium and clairvoyant Madame Arcati to his house to conduct a séance, hoping to gather material for his next book. The scheme backfires when he is haunted by the ghost of his willful and temperamental first wife, Elvira, after the séance. Elvira makes continual attempts to disrupt Charles’s marriage to his second wife, Ruth, who cannot see or hear the ghost. The production will run weekends, September 5th through September 14th.
