Hauntingly Hilarious!
BLITHE SPIRIT
By Noel Coward
Our season full of ghosts and high spirits continues with Noel Coward’s classic British farce. Gathering information for his next book, novelist and socialite Charles Condomine hires the eccentric psychic Madame Arcati to conduct a séance. After inadvertently summoning the ghost of his dead wife, Charles must defend his new (and living) wife from this vengeful and hot-tempered spirit. Watch the jealousies fly in one of theatre’s most notorious cat-fights, complete with the sophisticated humor of one of Britain’s wittiest playwrights!

You'll be Dancing All Night!
MY FAIR LADY
The classic story of Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle and Professor Henry Higgins is brought to life in a re-imagined, intimate production. A musical adaptation of George Bernard Shaw’s “Pygmalion,” “My Fair Lady” follows Higgins as he attempts to turn Eliza into a proper English lady through speech lessons, and the line between learning and learning to love becomes increasingly blurred. A show and music you know and love by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe, Clear Space brings this timeless musical right to “The Street Where You Live.”

SHIRLEY VALENTINE by Willy Russell
This one-woman, tour de force show is a poignant and often comedic look at what could have been and what might still be. Shirley, an English housewife, spends her humdrum days talking to the kitchen walls and preparing dinner for her grumbling husband. When an opportunity to travel to Greece arises, she hesitantly seizes the moment and discovers that her life isn’t quite as dead as she thought.
(Strong language and subject matter; parental discretion is advised.)
