The cast of “Blithe Spirit” is hard at work on their lines and their blocking (where they are supposed to be on the stage when a line is given).
Since this show is a comedy, timing is also most important as faulty timing makes bad comedy and correct timing makes a joke or situation more humorous. If one actor answers another too quickly in comedic situations, there is not enough time for the audience to react by chuckling or laughing and the moment is lost.
Tom Wilbur’s cast is solidified by the actors he has chosen for “Blithe Spirit” and we expect them to be at their best when this show opens at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 21.
Ken Sutton is responsible for his company sponsoring this show as he arranged for State Farm Insurance to get involved. Mr. Sutton is a very civic minded individual and we appreciate his efforts on our behalf.
