“Blithe Spirit” was directed by speech and theater major Lisa Turner for her capstone project. Turner said when she first read the play she knew she wanted it to be her capstone. The play, written by Noel Coward and first produced in the 1940s, is full of witty comedy that anyone can enjoy.

The performance was a success, and the students take a bow to commemorate their efforts Thursday after the first night of “Blithe Spirit.” Left to right, Jade Campbell, Gail Schroeder, Kylee Harzman, Alan Garcia, Jaden Matthews, Archer Bohlen and Maegan Holson. Photos by Derrick Galindo.
