Noel Coward’s BLITHE SPIRIT
September 11 – October 4, 2026

The IceHouse Theatre offers a vintage comedy for the cooling weeks of fall, with Noel Coward’s classic, Blithe Spirit. Performances are September 11 – October 4, 2026. Show times: Thursdays 7:30, Fridays 8:00, Saturdays 2:00, Sundays 2:00; one Wednesday show takes place on Sept 30 at 7:30. The IceHouse is located at 1100 N. Unser St., Mount Dora, FL 32757.

Blithe Spirit is set in the pre-war, mid-1930s, in the English countryside village of Kent, at the stately home of Charles and Ruth Condomine. Charles, a successful author and born skeptic, is doing research on the work of psychics who claim they can contact loved ones on ‘the other side’. He invites Madame Arcati, a well-known medium, to hold a séance, so he may observe her. In attendance are Dr. Bradman and Mrs. Bradman, who have been invited as participants. During the séance, Charles’ deceased first wife, Elvira, appears. Only Charles can see her, and once there, she makes it clear she has no intention of returning to ‘the beyond’ without him. In Elvira’s attempt to ‘bring Charles over,’ she causes an accident that inadvertently knocks off Ruth. Now Charles must have Madame Arcati exorcise both Ruth and Elvira from the house if he is ever to have any peace again. Throughout the story, the presence of the household’s maid, Edith, becomes increasingly relevant to the mystical occurrences, as her psychic powers are discovered to be causing interference.

A talented cast of seven brings the characters to life. CJ Sikorski is the writer, Charles Condomine and Shanna Stoker Henson is his first wife, the now deceased and ever-ethereal, Elvira. Aspen Thompson is Ruth Condomine, the stoic second wife. Molly Hicks is the eccentric medium, Madame Arcati. Jim Morrison is Dr. Bradman, a country doctor, and Ava Tunstall is his chatterbox spouse, Violet Bradman. Emily Jarvis plays Edith, the Cockney maid, whose psychic abilities are wreaking a bit of havoc, as well.

The IceHouse production team includes Darlin Barry, director; Buddy Fales, scenic design; Ava Tunstall, costume design and KJ Sales and Diego Ford, lighting design.

Blithe Spirit is set in the 1930s, in the English countryside town of Kent, at the home of Charles and Ruth Condomine. Charles, a successful author and born skeptic, is doing research on the work of psychics who claim they can contact loved ones on ‘the other side’. He invites Madame Arcati, a well-known medium, to hold a séance, so he may observe her. In attendance are Dr. Bradman and Mrs. Bradman, who have been invited as participants. During the séance, Charles’ deceased first wife, Elvira, appears. Only Charles can see her, and once there, she makes it clear she has no intention of returning to ‘the beyond’ without him. In Elvira’s attempt to ‘bring Charles over,’ she rigs the car brakes and inadvertently kills Ruth. Now Charles must have Madame Arcati exorcise both Ruth and Elvira from the house if he is ever to have any peace again. Throughout the story, the presence of the household maid, Edith, becomes increasingly relevant to the mystical occurrences, as her psychic powers are discovered to be causing interference.

THE CHARACTERS:
Charles Condomine, is a successful writer; he is self-assured and confident of his beliefs, and comfortable in his second marriage with Ruth. He believes he has put the past behind him – particularly his affections for his first wife, Elvira.
Elvira, the now deceased, first Mrs. Condomine. Elvira died seven years ago of pneumonia, while still young and vibrant. She is emotional and strong-willed. A real match for Charles, their five-year marriage was both stormy and passionate.

Ruth Condomine, the second wife. She is sensible, grounded, and a disbeliever in the occult. Ruth is devoted to Charles, to whom she has been married just a few years.

Madame Arcati is an older woman who is tuned in with the spiritual world and nature. Robust and hearty, she rides her bicycle everywhere. As an author of children’s stories in addition to her work as a medium, she embraces life with gusto.

Dr. Bradman is a trustworthy country doctor. Like Charles, he has no belief in the afterlife. He and his wife are invited to dinner to be participants in the séance.

Mrs. Bradman is a warm and friendly dinner guest. She is excited about the séance and more open to its possibilities than the others.

Edith, the maid, speaks with a Cockney accent. She is timid, eager to please and not very competent. Ultimately, her psychic abilities become entangled with the dilemma of the visiting spirits.

The Story: A charismatic, motorcycle-riding guy, Chad, pulls into a small town and shakes up the locals. Natalie, the tomboyish mechanic, falls for Chad, while he falls for the snobby museum lady, Sandra. Local guy, Dennis, secretly pines for Natalie, while she goes into disguise as Ed hoping to be Chad’s pal, if she can’t be his gal. In just 24 hours, mistaken identities and love-at-first sight incidents multiply, as everyone in town falls for the wrong person; from Natalie’s daddy, Jim, to Sylvia, Dean, Lorraine, Matilda, and Sheriff Earl.

This fun-loving, musical fantasy rocks with classic Elvis tunes that have all of the town’s folks singing and dancing to Heartbreak Hotel, Blue Suede Shoes, Can’t Help Falling in Love, Teddy Bear, Love Me Tender, Devil in Disguise, A Little Less Conversation, Don't Be Cruel and many more.
