University Theatre presents Noel Coward's 'Blithe Spirit'

"Blithe Spirit," a light English comedy written by Noel Coward, will open at 8:20 p.m. Wednesday in the University Theatre. The show will continue through Saturday with a matinee Sunday at 2:30 p.m.
The play also proved a hit in New York with Clifton Webb starring.
