This delightful supernatural comedy of manners promises sparkling wit, unexpected twists, and laugh-out-loud moments for audiences of all ages. Director, Kelly Minner-Bickert shares: “Blithe Spirit really is a masterwork in the genre. We chose the play not only because we know it’s a crowd pleaser, but for the benefit of our student actors, who through this process grow exponentially in developing their comic timing, delivery and character development.”
