Blithe Spirit
Ti-Ahwaga's first stage production in 1958, and presented again for TCP's 10 year anniversary season in 1968, Blithe Spirit is a TCP Favorite! Writer and society man Charles Condoman has a paranormal predicament: he's visited by the ghost of his dead wife Elvira, who is determined to wreak havoc. This disruption comes much to the dismay of Charles' current wife Ruth...she can't see the specter and believes her husband's gone mad. Catfights and catastrophes ensue in this clash between the living and the not-so-living. It's a hilarious farce by the master of high-class British comedy.
October 3-5, 10-12 & 17-19. Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm - $15 General admission, Sundays at 2 pm - $12 Senior matinee.
