FINAL WEEKEND - October 28-31, 2021

Cleveland State University Department of Theatre and Dance presents:

BLITHE SPIRIT

Outcalt Theatre (Allen Theatre Complex, Playhouse Square)

Written By Noël Coward, Directed by Russ Borski

Thursdays - Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m.

Cleveland State University’s Department of Theatre and Dance celebrates the return to live theatre in the Allen Theatre Complex at Playhouse Square with Noël Coward’s spirited comedy, Blithe Spirit. The Two-Act play gives us fussy, cantankerous novelist Charles Condomine, re-married but haunted by the ghost of his late first wife, the clever and insistent Elvira who is called up by ‘happy medium,’ Madame Arcati. Worlds collide, personalities clash and Charlie’s current wife Ruth accidentally joins forces with Elvira in the afterlife. These two ‘blithe spirits’ haunt their hapless husband into perpetuity.
