Blithe
Spirit to hit the stage
Described by author Noel Coward as “an improbable
farce in three acts,” Blithe Spirit is the perfect play
for a spring evening. Full of witty dialogue and banter, vivid and colorful
characters, and hilarious and zany situations, Blithe Spirit has been
a popular production since it was written to cheer up England during
the Blitz.
Unique among most University Theatre productions,
Blithe Spirit will feature Walton Professor of Theatre Pat Farmer
in the role of Charles Condimine. After directing 28 plays at Ozarks,
Farmer is returning to acting for the first time since 1983. Appearing
alongside Farmer will be Ginny Sain in the role of Madam Arcati. Sain
graduated with a theatre major from Ozarks in 1995 and is currently
the director of the Walton Arts and Ideas Series and the Kids College
programs.
The performances of Blithe Spirit will take
place on April 19th and 20th at 7:30 p.m. General Admission is $5 and
Uof O students, faculty, and staff will be given free admission. For
more information, please call 979-1349.
