Noel Coward’s Blithe Spirit was the 1982 Senior play this year. Mrs. Linda Raya directed the play with the help of her two stage managers, Cynthia Hill and Michael Young. Technical director, Dennis Day, contributed much time and effort in designing the set. The cast rehearsed daily from October 12 to prepare for their opening on November We Blithe Spirit is set in present day England. Scott Roby protrays the role of Charles Condomine, a free lance writer But, darling: Scott Roby pleads with Margaret. What's going on?: The Condomine seance. Hmmm: Margaret and John converse. Oh, my goodness: Stephanie Purnell munches. Dear Charles: Stephanie Jackson seduces her love. Abracadabra: Connie Shannon conjures a spirit. 26 ¢ Senior Play Gkthe Shirt married to his second wife, Ruth, who is played by Margaret Boyle. Suzanne Porth and Connie Shannon were double cast as Madame Arcati, a medium who conjures up the ghost of Charles’ ex- wife, Elvira, played by both Debbi Roberts and Stephanie Jackson. Close friends of the Condomine’s, Dr. Brad- man and his wife also join the seance. Dee Dockery and John McDaniel were double cast as Dr. Bradman, while Kathleen White and Stephanie Purnell took turns playing his wife. The Con- domine’s maid, Edith, was acted by Shirley Reese and Gail Ward. The play would not have been suc- cessful without the tremendous work and support of the crews behind the scenes. A $300.00 profit on ticket sales gave the Senior class of 1983 the honor of making more money than any class at HP. Many consider Blithe Spirit to be the most successful Senior play presented at Highland Park.
