June 28-July 7
The theatre and dance department will present Blithe Spirit every day from June 28-July 3 and from July 5-7 at 8:15 p.m. at Craig Hall Plaza. When a séance goes horribly awry, a man is haunted by the ghost of his first wife — who dooms his second. Part horror, part farce, it’s a laugh-out-loud twist on the typical ghost story. Tickets range from $9.50 to $13, and can be purchased by calling the Missouri State TIX box office at 836-7678, or (toll free) 1-888-476-7849.
