The Stony Point Players killed it this weekend as the local theater group put on its summer production of “Blithe Spirit” at the Charles Theatre.
Directed by James Severin, the play is a 1940s classic comedy about a novelist who becomes haunted by the spirit of his first wife after a séance gone wrong, and the chaos that results when his living wife clashes with his late one.
Featuring the acting talents of Jess Bushman, Lynn Bauer, Yvonne Copper, Jodi Holschlag, Kevin Smith, Jenna Haglund and Dani Cavanaugh, the play enjoyed a three-day performance from June 27-29.
