In this spirited classic, Charles Condomine is a temperamental writer, who is haunted (literally) by the spirit of his first wife, the vivacious Elvira, after she is mistakenly summoned during a seance, by “Happy Medium” Madame Arcati. Charles suddenly finds himself in the middle of a most otherworldly love triangle, between Elvira and his second wife Ruth, as both women vie for his affections. Elvira, however, is determined to have Charles all to herself, even if it means finding a way for him to join her in the afterlife!
Director, Jennifer Latka, will have actors perform cold readings from the script – no monologues. Please bring a copy of your résumé and a current headshot or photo. All races, ages, genders are welcome! For more information, email Kate Masters at kmasters@aclassictheatre.org or call 904-637-5585.
There is a cast of seven characters:
Charles Condomine: A successful novelist, Charles is sophisticated, witty and intelligent, but
temperamental. Charles finds himself in a love triangle between his wife and his dead wife.
Ruth Condomine: Charles' second wife. Smart, practical and a bit stuffy. She is desperate to exorcise Elvira and get their lives back to normal.
Elvira: The deceased first wife of Charles, now a ghost. Vivacious and manipulative, with a wicked sense of humor. She is jealous of Ruth and determined to have Charles all to herself.
Madame Arcati: "The Happy Medium." A local eccentric, who travels by bike. She is an effusive, larger than life character. It is through her Elvira is summoned.
Dr. George Bradman: A friend of Charles and Ruth. A skeptic, he is sensible, serious and dry.
Mrs. Violet Bradman: Wife of Dr. Bradman. Fair but faded, a bit silly and naive.
Edith: The Condomines’ new maid. Edith is a bit clumsy and always moves in a hurry.
