Auditions
Blithe Spirit
by Noel Coward
Directed by Payton K. Thompson
Performance Dates - February 13-15, 2026
Blithe Spirit is one of the most beloved comedies in the English-speaking world, celebrated for its sharp wit, fast-paced dialogue, and deft handling of themes surrounding life, death, and the supernatural. Premiering in London in 1941, Blithe Spirit is a sophisticated, farcical play that delves into the intricacies of love, the unpredictability of human emotions, and the consequences of one’s past actions. As a playwright, Coward was known for his mastery of comedy, and Blithe Spirit is an exemplary display of his ability to blend light-hearted humor with deeper, more existential questions.
