Laughter, mystery, and a little supernatural mischief are coming to The Plaza Arts Center in Eatonton this week as the Plaza Alliance for the Performing Arts (PAPA) presents Noël Coward’s beloved comedy Blithe Spirit, opening Thursday night.
Described as “a hilarious haunting you won’t forget,” Blithe Spirit follows the unexpected and highly entertaining consequences of a séance gone wrong. Coward’s classic comedy blends witty dialogue, eccentric characters, and ghostly surprises for a theatrical experience that everyone will enjoy.
Directed by Dennis McClain, Sarah Daly Weir, and Kathy Wardlaw, PAPA’s Blithe Spirit features a talented local cast, including Carol Grant, Lu Feldman, Lou Benjamin, Michelle Saarela, Sue Strange, Suzanne Vest, and Phil Armstrong.
Performances are Oct. 8, 9, 11, 15, 16, and 18. Oct. 8, 9, 15 and 16 performances are at 7 p.m., and performances on Oct. 11 and 18 are at 2:30 p.m. All performances take place at The Plaza (305 N.Madison Ave., Eatonton), and all tickets are $25 and available now at plazacenter.org.
With its combination of clever comedy, unforgettable characters, and supernatural surprises, Blithe Spirit promises to be a fun and entertaining night out for theater lovers and newcomers alike.
