Blithe Spirit
Old Log Theater
The most spirited comedy you’ve seen in years! Researching for his new novel, Charles Comdomine invites the implausible medium, Madame Arcati, to his house for a séance. While consumed in a trance, Madame Arcati unwittingly summons the ghost of Charles’ dead wife Elvira. Appearing only to Charles, Elvira soon makes a play to reclaim her husband, much to the chagrin of Charles’ new wife Ruth. If he wants his latest mar-riage to stand a GHOST of a chance, he’d better conjure up a solution quickly.
One husband, two feuding wives and a whisper of mischief in the air – who will win in Coward’s un-worldly comedy?
We’ll dine at “Cast & Cru”, and enjoy a warm and welcoming lunch from the restaurant, walk over and enjoy the show, and after our time at the OLT we will then hit up a local greenhouse.

ten months. We’ve been living in Fredenberg Township
for the past two years. I studied Spanish first in Guate-
mala for a year, and later I got my BA in Spanish
Education. I’ve also travelled to Mexico and Chile for
brief periods of time. I really enjoy the Spanish language and culture. I
look forward to sharing my experiences and foreign “conversational
skills” with many future Spanish-speakers.
Thank you to all our Community Education Instructors for
