The Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts (Charter Arts) Theatre Department continues its 2025-26 season with a production of Noël Coward’s mischievous comedy, "Blithe Spirit". When a novelist invites a medium to his home for a séance as research, things go hilariously wrong—summoning the ghost of his first wife and turning married life upside down.
This delightful supernatural comedy of manners promises sparkling wit, unexpected twists, and laugh-out-loud moments for audiences of all ages. Director, Kelly Minner-Bickert shares: “'Blithe Spirit' really is a masterwork in the genre. We chose the play not only because we know it’s a crowd-pleaser, but for the benefit of our student actors, who through this process grow exponentially in developing their comic timing, delivery and character development.”
Show times include: evening performances on January 30 & 31 at 7 PM and a matinee performance on February 1 at 2 PM.
Tickets are $14 Adult, $8 Student/Child and can be purchased at CharterArts.org or at the door. "Blithe Spirit" by Noël Coward is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com.
