The Valley Players will present Blithe Spirit, by Noël Coward, Fridays-Sundays October 10-26 at the Valley Players Theater, 4254 Main Street (Route 100), Waitsfield, VT. Friday and Saturday night shows are at 7:30, and Sunday matinees are at 2 pm.
This fall, experience Blithe Spirit like never before, reimagined in dazzling black and white. With styling inspired by 1940s cinema, every element of this production - from costumes to makeup - embraces the elegant world of old Hollywood. It’s a supernatural comedy full of charm, chaos, and vintage style. A ghost story never looked so glamorous!
When a séance by Madame Arcati (Sarah Storjohann, Barre) goes sideways, Charles Condomine (Lee Chasen) finds himself haunted by his first wife, Elvira (Sorsha Anderson, Middletown), who has some strong opinions about Charles’ second wife, Ruth (Shannon McDermott, Burlington). Also participating in the séance are Charles’ skeptical friends, Dr. Bradman (Ray Merrill, Montpelier) and his wife, Violet (Sarah McDougal, Warren).Providing them with enthusiastic household service is their maid, Edith (Cassandra Demarais, Websterville).
The production is directed by Shannon Sanborn (Barre) with lighting design by Irene Halabozak (Williston). Sanborn is also the set designer. “Directing Blithe Spirit in black and white has been such a fun ride,” said Sanborn. “Every choice from the bold makeup to the clothes and sets has to pop without color. It’s all about mood, texture and timeless style. I look forward to audiences experiencing the magic!”
