Play Description:
When Charles arranges a séance in his home as research for his upcoming novel, eccentric
psychic Madame Arcati mistakenly summons the spirit of his late wife, Elvira—which
infuriates his current wife, Ruth. Charles suddenly finds himself caught in a supernatural
love triangle and his attempts to fix the situation only make things worse as both
women vie for his affections. Elvira is determined to have Charles all to herself,
even if it means finding a way for him to join her in the afterlife. Lighthearted
and witty, Noël Coward's irreverent classic comedy combines farce and emotion to tickle
your funny-bone!

About the Drama Program
Drama at Lower Columbia College offers courses designed to provide students with an
understanding of the theatre and an appreciation of theatre, acting, technical theatre,
and production experience through performance. Students develop the ability to express
themselves in many ways: acting on stage, seminar discussion, play analysis, review
writing, script interpretation, kinesthetic expression, and technical proficiency
in set, costume, and light design.
One play is presented each quarter during the academic year. Participation is open
to all students, college employees and members of the local community.
Students interested in acting can complete an associate degree or begin studies to
transfer to a baccalaureate program. Drama courses can also be an important supplement
for those who plan to major in the humanities or social sciences.
