Auditions for Blithe Spirit by Noël Coward will be held on Monday and Tuesday, December 2 and 3, 2024 at 6:00 pm at the Glema Mahr Center for the Arts on the campus of Madisonville Community College in Madisonville, Kentucky.THE STORY: A smash comedy hit in London and New York, this much-revived classic from the playwright of Private Lives concerns fussy, cantankerous novelist Charles Condomine, who has remarried but finds himself haunted (literally) by the ghost of his late first wife, Elvira. Clever, insistent and well aware of Charles' shortcomings, Elvira is called up by a visiting “happy medium,” the eccentric and flighty Madame Arcati. As everyone's personalities clash, Charles’ current wife, Ruth, is accidentally killed. She “passes over” and joins Elvira, allowing the two “blithe spirits” to haunt the hapless Charles into perpetuity.
The performances are February 14-16, 2025, at the Glema Center. The cast will meet on December 5 and 6 and then begin regular rehearsals on January 2. The casting calls for two men and four women, and auditions are open to performers age 16 and up. Those auditioning should complete the audition form by visiting GlemaCenter.org > Community > Auditions: Community Theatre. Those planning to audition should prepare a comedic monologue one to two minutes in length and should be prepared for the possibility of doing a cold read from the script. This production will be directed by Liam Coursey and stage managed by Brandi Jones.
