providing live election return coverage on Tuesday, November 8, from 8

important national races, including the presidential contest between

elections, legislative races, and the Wayne County Education
Enhancement Millage. Plymouth HS Seniors ​Amanda Barberena​ and ​Clay

THE PARK PLAYERS TO PRESENT ‘BLITHE SPIRIT’ STARTING NOVEMBER 11
The Park Players Theatre Company​ presents the smash hit of the London and
Broadway stages "Blithe Spirit" by Noel Coward. November 11, 12, 18, and 19 at 7
p.m. in the Gloria Logan Auditorium in Salem HS. Charles Condomine, a mediocre
novelist, summons a medium to his home to study "the techniques" of
spiritualists for his new book. Along with Ruth, his second wife, and close friends
Dr. and Mrs. Bradman, he participates in a seance conducted by Madame Arcati,
his chosen medium. Madame Arcati supplies Charles with more than he
bargained for. She produces a "protoplasmic manifestation" in the form of Elvira,
Charles's deceased first wife whom only he (and the audience) can see and hear.
With farce and wit unleashed, Coward presents us with some of his best comic
characters in a situation full of spirits and satire. Tickets are available online at
www.tpptc.booktix.com​ or at the door starting one hour before each
performance.
