A smash comedy hit of the London and Broadway stages, this much-revived classic offers up fussy, cantakerous novelist Charles Condomine, remarried but haunted (literally) by the ghost of his late first wife, the clever and insistent Elvira, who is called up by a visiting "happy medium," one Madame Arcati. As the worldly and unworldly personalities clash, Charles' current wife Ruth is accidentally killed, "passes over," joins Elvira and the two blithe spirits haunt the hapless Charles into perpetuity.

Directors Guy and Tammy Crawford bring this show to life with the help of talented cast members from all around Delmarva. They will keep audience members guessing about what will happen next and will have them laughing from start to finish. The theater address is 2 South Walnut St., Milford. For more information, go to www.secondstreetplayers.com.
