Blithe Spirit

Authors are sometimes known to go to great lengths to end a creative dry spell. While some conventional routes can range from normal to dangerous, a select few writers take up the absolutely absurd. The Toledo Repertoire Theater’s upcoming comedy Blithe Spirit, has a socialite and novelist opting to invite a psychic into his home to stir his creativity with a séance, instead managing to revive his obnoxious first wife. Although our author’s second wife cannot hear or see the ghost, the resurrected apparition fights to destroy their marriage.

January 16-25, 8pm Thursdays-Saturdays, 2:30pm Sundays. $20/general, $18/senior, $10/students age 10+, $5/students up to age 12. The Toledo Repertoire Theatre 10th Street Stage, 16 10th St. 419-243-9277. toledorep.org
