Blithe Spirit Cast Annoucement
Little Theatre of Owatonna has announced the cast for its winter production of “Blithe Spirit” by Noël Coward.
The smash comedy hit of the London and Broadway stages, this much-revived classic from the playwright of Private Lives offers up fussy, cantankerous novelist Charles Condomine, re-married but haunted (literally) by the ghost of his late first wife, the clever and insistent Elvira who is called up by a visiting “happy medium,” one Madame Arcati. As the (worldly and un-) personalities clash, Charles’ current wife, Ruth, is accidentally killed, “passes over,” joins Elvira, and the two “blithe spirits” haunt the hapless Charles into perpetuity.
Kathy Rush Vizina is the Director with Brenda Hager the Technical Director.
The cast includes:
Courtney Kryzer as Edith
Teresa Scheidt as Ruth
Ron Hager as Charles
Mark Zollner as Dr. Bradman
Holly Jorgensen as Mrs. Bradman
Gail Zollner as Madame Arcati
Amber Chesney as Elvira
