René Augesen, Anthony Fusco to Star in Cal Shakes’ Blithe Spirit

California Shakespeare Theater will present Noël Coward’s Blithe Spirit, August 8-September 2 at the Bruns Amphitheater. Mark Rucker will direct the production.

The play concerns Charles Condomine, an author who wants to learn about the occult for an upcoming book and gets more than he bargained for when he arranges for a visiting “happy medium” to hold a séance at his house.

The cast will feature René Augesen (Ruth Condomine), Anthony Fusco (Charles Condomine), Domenique Lozano (Madame Arcati), Jessica Kitchens (Elvira), Kevin Rolston (Dr. Bradman), Melissa Smith (Mrs. Bradman), and Rebekah Brockman (Edith).

The design team will include Annie Smart (set design), Katherine Roth (costume design), York Kennedy (lighting design), and Will McCandless (sound design).
