It’s our fall play!

It's the last day of school, which is an excellent time to announce our fall play...

Noël Coward's Blithe Spirit!

A smash comedy hit on London and Broadway stages, this much-revived classic offers wit, conflict and big laughs as a fussy, cantankerous novelist finds himself haunted by the ghost of his late first wife.

Socialite and novelist Charles Condomine invites the eccentric medium and clairvoyant Madame Arcati to his house to conduct a séance, hoping to gather material for his next book. The scheme backfires when he is haunted by the ghost of his wilful and temperamental first wife, Elvira, after the séance. Elvira makes continual attempts to disrupt Charles's marriage to his second wife, Ruth, who cannot see or hear the ghost.

Auditions will be during the second week of school in the fall, and performances Nov 20-22nd!
