Get in the Spirit This Spooky Season!
Join us for Blithe Spirit, Noël Coward’s delightfully witty comedy full of ghostly mischief, unexpected twists, and laugh-out-loud moments. When a séance goes hilariously wrong, one man finds himself haunted by more than just memories—his late wife has returned, and she’s not ready to let go.
This clever and chaotic farce is the perfect blend of comedy and the supernatural—just right for fall and fans of all things spooky (but not too scary)!
