The Players Guild of Leonia presents "Blithe Spirit" by Noël Coward

originally published: 12/01/2025


(LEONIA, NJ) -- The Players Guild of Leonia presents Blithe Spirit by Noël Coward weekends from January 23 to February 8, 2026 in the Civil War Drill Hall. In Noël Coward’s sparkling classic, a well-intentioned séance conjures up far more than anyone expected.

As mischievous spirits stir and tempers flare, one man’s domestic life becomes a supernatural battleground in this razor-sharp comedy of wit, charm, and otherworldly mischief.

Directed by Glenn Woertz, the cast includes Clifton Lewis (Dr. Bradman), Cheryl Woertz (Mrs. Bradman), Emily Miller (Ruth), Ian Kenny (Charles), Joanne Guarnaccia (Madame Arcati), Marisa Gore (Elvira), and Loretta Carlen (Edith).

Performances take place Friday and Saturday nights at 8:00pm; Sunday matinees at 2:00pm. Tickets are available for purchase online. The Civil War Drill Hall is located at 130 Grand Avenue in Leonia, New Jersey.

The Players Guild of Leonia proudly stands as New Jersey’s longest-running community theater, founded in 1919. They perform in the historic Civil War Drill Hall, built in 1859 as a National Guard armory. For over a century, The Players Guild of Leonia has been committed to delivering compelling, insightful, and engaging theater while fostering a vibrant space for artistic expression and community connection.
