      The play follows novelist Charles Condomine and his wife Ruth who
have invited the eccentric medium and clairvoyant, Madame Arcati, to their
home to conduct a séance, hoping to gather material for his next book. But
the scheme backfires when the ghost of his annoying and temperamental first
wife Elvira appears--visible only to Charles. Elvira makes continual
attempts to disrupt Charles's marriage to Ruth, while Madame Arcati tries
fruitlessly to make the spirit disappear.



      The director, Krysta Dennis, works as a theatre-maker and director in
the US and internationally, and currently teaches at Siena College. She
holds a dual PhD from the University of Kent in the UK and the Sorbonne in
Paris, and trained at L’Ecole Jacques Lecoq.

      The cast includes: Debra Burger, Kathleen Carey, Janet Kimlicko,
Patrick Quinn, Tony Pallone, and Giulia Pezzulo
