"Blithe Spirit," Noel Coward's most popular comedy, is here just in time for Halloween at the Springville Playhouse. It will have audiences roaring roar-ing with laughter from now until October 30th, at 7:30 p.m., on Mondays, Fridays Fri-days and Saturdays, with an additional performance on Thursday, Oct. 26. The theater opens at 7 p.m. where you can purchase pur-chase tickets at the door: $7 for adults, $6 for children, chil-dren, students and seniors, $30 for a family pass (up to six people). Directed by Al Ricci and produced by Debbie Smith, this is a story complete with eccentrics, plot twists and witty banter. The story includes an author, Charles Condo-mine, Condo-mine, who invites a psychic psy-chic named Madame Ar-cati Ar-cati to his English country -home to conduct a seance in order to research some "tricks of the trade" for a novel he is writing. Being skeptics, he and his wife, Ruth, are surprised sur-prised to find themselves haunted by Charles' scheming schem-ing and coquettish first wife, Elvira. The result is a hilarious love triangle in which Ruth, tries to find a way to get rid of the first Mrs. Condomine before she reclaims Charles as her own. Coward is brilliant with the witty insults and perfect retorts, especially espe-cially when it comes to the "battle" between the sexes. "Blithe Spirit," originally origi-nally performed to war-weary war-weary Brits, still has a universal uni-versal appeal. It premiered in 1941 in London, where it ran for almost five years. The show moved to Broadway Broad-way where it won the New York Critics Circle Award. The 1945 film version starred Rex Harrison and Margaret Rutherford. "Blithe Spirit" features a cast of local, well-known stage actors and actresses featuring Daryl Tucker as Charles, Robinne Booth as Ruth, Kaye Fugal as Elvira, El-vira, Maureen Eastwood as Madame Arcati, Chris Boyadjian as Dr. Brad-man, Brad-man, and newcomers to the Playhouse, Marie Cope as Mrs. Bradman, and Kim Stinson as Edith the maid. The Springville Playhouse Play-house is Utah's longest, continuously running community com-munity theater group, having hav-ing been created almost 60 years ago in 1947. Come support this long standing tradition and enjoy a fun evening. Westside principal headed to Washington, D.C.
