Theatre Casting Call for "Blithe Spirit" Comedy Show
Auditions for Noel Coward’s comedy of manners, "Blithe Spirit" Show and looking for performers, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: It’s 1941 in the country home of Charles and Ruth Condomine in Kent, England. Celebrated writer Charles Condomine and his wife, Ruth, have planned a social gathering with their friends, Dr. and Mrs. Bradman in which the guest of honor is a spiritual medium named Madame Arcati. Charles is hoping to use Madame Arcati for inspiration for his latest book. Madame Arcati conducts a seance which at first appears to have failed, but soon it becomes clear that Charles’ late wife Elvira has been brought back to haunt him. Through a series of mishaps, Ruth accidentally ends up on the “other side,” and Charles finds himself haunted by both of his now-deceased wives.
