Blithe Spirit

October 4-13

Joan and Donald Schaeffer Black Box Theater, Joseph G. Shapiro Family Hall

By David Lindsay-Abaire

Directed by Jennifer Hart

Nothing will prepare you for the dirty little secret Cass discovers in her husband’s sweater drawer. It is so shocking that our heroine has no choice but to flee to the honeymoon capital of the world in a frantic search for the life she thinks she missed out on. It’s a wild ride over Niagara Falls in a barrel of laughs as Cass embarks on a journey of self-discovery that has her crossing paths with a blithely suicidal alcoholic, a lonely tour-boat captain, a pair of bickering private detectives, and a strange caper involving a gargantuan jar of peanut butter, all of which pushes her perilously close to the water’s edge.

Bright sunlight made him look white!

Hail to thee, blithe spirit,

Bird thou never wert...
