(Laredo, Texas)-Spirits continue to take shape for a hauntingly hilarious production as the Laredo Theater Guild International (LTGI), in collaboration with Texas A&M International University (TAMIU), stages Noel Coward’s Blithe Spirit at TAMIU through Jan. 20.
Blithe Spirit delves into the supernatural, telling the story of ex-wives, love and crystal balls. Madame Arcati conducts a séance at the home of protagonist novelist Charles Condomine and his wife, Ruth. While hoping to gather more information on his future novel, his plan fails after his first wife Elvira, comes back to haunt him. The production then explores a marriage tested as Ruth finds herself joining Elvira, as two “blithe spirits” find themselves haunting Charles for the rest of his life.
The production opened last week and continues through Jan. 17 – 19 at 7:30 p.m. A matinee performance is set Sunday, Jan. 20 at 3 p.m. at the Sam Johnson Experimental Theater.
