Description:

The company is holding auditions for "Blithe Spirit!" show and looking for performers, please see the details below. About the project: A smash comedy hit in London and New York, this much-revived classic from the playwright of Private Lives concerns fussy, cantankerous novelist Charles Condomine, who has remarried but finds himself haunted (literally) by the ghost of his late first wife, Elvira. Clever, insistent and well aware of Charles' shortcomings, Elvira is called up by a visiting “happy medium,” the eccentric and flighty Madame Arcati. As everyone's personalities clash, Charles’ current wife, Ruth, is accidentally killed. She “passes over” and joins Elvira, allowing the two “blithe spirits” to haunt the hapless Charles into perpetuity Additional info: Please come a few minutes early to fill out an audition form, or print one out and bring it already filled out (see the attachment) Bring a full list of your conflicts June 26 - October 5 to share with the directing staff, weekends included.
