You won’t be able to resist the goofy charm of REEFER MADNESS\, an addictive\, hilarious\, and highly stylized musical romp with a sly satirical political commentary that will leave you wanting more. \n \nA Big THANK YOU to the Port of Long Beach for Sponsoring the 2026 Studio Season! \nPURCHASE YOUR TICKETS HERE:\nCHOOSE YOUR DATE:\n\nFriday\, October 23\, 8pm\nSaturday\, October 24\, 8pm\nSunday\, October 25\, 2pm\nFriday\, October 30\, 8pm\nSaturday\, October 31\, 8pm\nSunday\, November 1\, 2pm\nFriday\, November 6\, 8pm\nSaturday\, November 7\, 8pm\nSunday\, November 8\, 2pm\nFriday\, November 13\, 8pm\nSaturday\, November 14\, 8pm\nSunday\, November 15\, 8pm – Closing\n\nAGE LIMIT\nAs a courtesy to our patrons\, it is the policy of the theatre not to admit children under the age of 5.

DESCRIPTION:BLITHE SPIRIT\nPlaying in the Long Beach Playhouse’s Mainstage Theater\nOct. 31 – Nov. 28\, 2026\nBy Noël Coward\nDirected by Lauren Velasco\nFrom the effervescent mind of Noël Coward comes his engaging comedy of ghostly charms\, BLITHE SPIRIT.  When a seance goes awry\, the fussy\, cantankerous novelist Charles Condomine finds himself quite literally haunted by the ghost of his first wife\, Elvira.  As she makes her displeasure about Charles’ current wife Ruth known\, personalities clash\, and the eccentric and flighty medium Madame Arcati is called back in to resolve this love triangle from beyond the grave.  A smash hit\, this much-revived classic is a rip-roaring and scintillating comedy\, swimming in the expertly crafted dialogue that only the wit of Noël Coward can produce. \nPURCHASE YOUR TICKETS HERE:\nGet a Season Subscription now to the 2026 – 2027 Mainstage Season by calling our Box Office at 562-494-1014 option 1.  Individual tickets for single
