Blithe Sprit

The Kiwanis Club of Normal took in a play at the Community Players Theater in town.

Beforehand we had dinner at the Times Past Inn restaurant. Hearty homestyle cooking for all of your meat-and-potato needs.

Then it was off to the production of Blithe Spirit, a 1941 black comedy about the ghosts of marriages past.

The story's here.

Frankly, the first act was written uninspiringly, despite sound acting. Then it picks up a bit through the final six acts before ending in a confusing and somewhat unexplainable plot twist to tie everything off.

Still, cheers to the performers, directors, and all who donate their time to the cause of amateur local entertainment. I'll be back.
