  • Wit, Ghosts, and a Grand Debut: Experience Noel Coward’s Classic Comedy at BMCA

    Prepare for an afternoon of "astral bigamy" and sophisticated humor as the Black Mountain Center for the Arts presents the inaugural performance of the Encore Players. This brand-new senior reader’s theater troupe makes its debut with Noel Coward’s timeless masterpiece, Blithe Spirit.
    When a skeptical socialite invites a medium to his home for a séance, he gets more than he bargained for: the temperamental, jealous ghost of his first wife. In this intimate reader’s theater format, the focus remains on the brilliant dialogue and comedic timing of our community’s most seasoned performers.
    Come support the launch of this exciting new senior arts program! Whether you're a fan of classic farce or looking to support local talent, this hauntingly funny production is not to be missed.
