By PATRICIA Laugh ter * From Cast Rehearsing Improbable Farce ‘Blithe Spirit’ By BILL BOND Have you -noticed all, the ao- tivity in the “Barn Theatre” be+ hind the Woman’s Club Building recently? “Have you heard the peals of laughter ringing out! from there? In case you won- dered if a play was in production and you missed it, be of good eer, it’s only rehearsals. The laughter you’ve heard and the action you've glimpsed as you passed by is only the t having a wonderful time rehearsing Noel! Coward’s improbable farce, “Blithe Spirit”. It will be ready for production sometime around the first of March. This fantastic comedy had its premier in London and has since been played in this country with sful runs in New York go. It is a typical Cow- ard masterpiece of wit and ac- tion and The Players are having an hilarious time getting it ready, so it promises“to be one of thel best they ‘have ever done. It is being directed by that dynamic and ever-capable Josef Lazarovici, who is ‘supported by a cast of Willing, hard workers, including | some favorites of past productions and some very able newcomers. The Key West Players is not a closed organization nor one to} j|which you must receive an invi-; tation for membership. It is just a group enjoying a good time to- gether, be it acting, directing, painting scenery, arranging light- ing effects or building sets. Some of the most active members are service personnel who find the “Barn Theatre” a wonderful place for relaxation. Visitors are wel- come to all meetings and new members will always be wel- come. Feel free to come anytime and join the fun. The exact date and full cast of ‘Blithe Spirit” will be announced shortly. Watch for it in The Citizen.
