Event Navigation

Parkway Playhouse opens its 72nd season with the hilarious, haunting comedy “Blithe Spirit.” Skeptical novelist Charles Condomine invites self-proclaimed medium Madame Arcati to his home for a séance, hoping to gather material for a new book. When the hapless psychic accidentally summons the spirit of Condomine’s late wife, Elvira, his home and life are quickly turned into shambles as his wife’s ghost torments him and his new bride, Ruth.
Following the performance on opening night, May 5, a complimentary Opening Night Reception will be held for the cast and audience. And on Sundays, May 6 and May 13, the cast will sit for post-show discussions where audience members can ask questions.
