“Blithe Spirit” by Noël Coward runs from November 12-22 in the Center Stage Theatre at Southern Oregon University. In this classic 20th century comedy, which playfully mocks the traditions of love and marriage, novelist and socialite Charles Condomine unintentionally calls up the ghost of his first wife when he visits the “happy medium” Madame Arcati. As Elvira infiltrates the lives of Charles and his second wife Ruth, he wonders how things could be more vexing. Coward’s dexterity with word play and plot are at their height.

Performances are at 8 p.m. on Thursday-Saturday, November 12-14 and Thursday-Sunday, November 19-22, with 2 p.m. matinees on Saturday and Sunday, November 21-22. Tickets are $20 regular, $17 senior, $5 students. Subscribers to three or more plays receive a discounted rate of $16 regular and $14 senior. Tickets are available at the door or by calling the SOU Theatre Arts Box Office at 552-6348. More information is available at sou.edu/theatre/calendar.
