DUMMERSTON — The Vermont Theatre Company is proud to announce a performance of the whimsical romantic comedy Bell, Book and Candle, directed by Robert Wellington with producers Michelle Page and Jonathan Kinnersley.
Set in New York in the 1950s, this fun play by John Van Druten follows witch Gillian Holroyd, who casts a spell on an unattached publisher, Shepherd Henderson, partly to keep him away from a rival and partly because she is attracted to him, according to a news release.
He falls head over heels in love with her at once and wants to marry her. But witches, unfortunately, cannot fall in love, and this minute imperfection leads to a number of difficulties.
Bridget McBride plays the role of Gillian, Jonathan Kinnersley is Shep, Veda Crewe is Gillian's quirky aunt, Aaron Morse is Gillian's brother, Nicky, and Jim Bombicino is the rumpled author, Redlitch.
Performances will be held at the Evening Star Grange in Dummerston on Nov. 1-3 and 8-10. Friday and Saturday performances begin at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday performances begin at 3 p.m.
Tickets are $15 for general admission and $13 for students and seniors. Learn more at vermonttheatrecompany.org.
