Kid Frankenstein
Adapted from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein by Kathryn Schultz Miller

Blithe Spirit
Written by Noël Coward
Directed by Mike Marlowe
A sharp-witted, supernatural comedy! In Blithe Spirit, novelist Charles Condomine’s dinner party takes a turn when a séance accidentally conjures his late (and mischievous) first wife, leading to a ghostly love triangle and hilarity.
Casting:
