"I first saw "Blithe Spirit" preformed at American Players Theater, and it lit a fire in me to return to the stage after a ten year hiatus. There I was, on the edge of my seat, laughing and relating to characters from a play written over 70 years ago—that’s incredible! It reminded me how magical theater can be, and that I needed it in my life. Now, 5 years later, I have been given the opportunity to pay homage to the show that reignited my passion. On top of that, the talent of this cast and crew leaves me speechless after every rehearsal. Could I be any luckier?
Edith has been a delightful character to play and we have a lot in common—both of us don’t always know what’s going on and occasionally miss social cues. In addition, Edith is teaching me some quality lessons—always try your best, don’t take life too seriously, and find the joy in running! (The last part isn’t sinking in.)"
