UCO Theatre Arts Presents Noël Coward’s Comedy ‘Blithe Spirit,’ Oct. 30-Nov. 2

Oct. 20, 2025

Three UCO students dressed in costumes for a performance of "Blithe Spirit."

The University of Central Oklahoma’s Department of Theatre Arts will present "Blithe Spirit" at 7:30 p.m., Oct. 30-Nov. 1, and 2 p.m., Nov. 2, in Mitchell Hall Theatre, located on Central's campus.

Written by acclaimed playwright Noël Coward, "Blithe Spirit" is a witty comedy filled with supernatural mischief and sharp humor. When a novelist invites an eccentric medium to conduct a séance as research for his next book, he accidentally summons the ghost of his late wife—much to the dismay of his current one. What follows is a hilarious battle of wills, witty banter and ghostly chaos.

“This production offers audiences the perfect mix of lighthearted comedy and clever satire, with all the charm and wit Coward is known for,” said Carly O’Brien, MFA, assistant professor of theatre arts and the director of the production.

“We’re excited to bring such an iconic piece of comedic theatre to the Mitchell Hall stage.”

The production is family-friendly, featuring ghostly apparitions, séance scenes and romantic humor.

Tickets range from $10 to $25 and are free for UCO students with a valid ID. Tickets can be purchased online at BronchoArts.com or by calling the ticket office at 405-974-3375.
