This comedy follows the cantankerous spiritual skeptic Charles Condomine (James Duggan), whose ideas of the world are changed when the ghost of his deceased first wife, Elvira (Erica Jones), appears. Elvira is still in love with Charles and wants him back, and is not about to let a little thing like death stand in her way. Tickets are $47 and can be purchased online or by calling the box office at (239) 263-7990.
The show will debut with a red carpet celebration on September 28 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., featuring local vendors and music by Chariot. The event is free and open to the public.
