PHOTOS from "Blithe Spirit" at Music Mountain Theatre

originally published: 04/14/2023

(LAMBERTVILLE, NJ) -- Music Mountain Theatre's 2023 season continues with Blithe Spirit, weekends from April 14-30, 2023. A smash comedy hit in London and New York, this much-revived classic concerns fussy, cantankerous novelist Charles Condomine, who has remarried but finds himself haunted (literally) by the ghost of his late first wife, Elvira. Photographer John Posada was on hand to take photos.

In order to gather background for his new book, Charles and his second wife, Ruth, invite the extremely eccentric medium, Madame Arcati, to perform a séance.

Director Micky Dominic returns to Music Mountain Theatre after last season’s Moon over Buffalo to bring this classic to the MMT stage.  The cast for this classic is Patrick Lavery, Lauren Brader, Alison McMullen, Joan Hoffman, Tristan Takacs, Madison Kotnarowski, Jessica Stahl, and Regina Mercadante.

Performances take place Fridays at 8:00pm, Saturdays at 3:00pm & 8:00pm, and Sundays at 3:00pm. Tickets are $32 for adults and $30 for students/seniors/military and are available for purchase online, in person at the box office, or by calling 609.397.3337.

Music Mountain Theatre is located at 1483 NJ-179 in Lambertville, New Jersey.
