Directors Cat Milone and Matt Duchnowski are on the hunt for a spirited cast of seven to bring Noël Coward’s “Blithe Spirit” to life at Actors’ NET of Bucks County. This witty comedy of manners (and mischief) is full of quick banter, ghostly shenanigans, and larger-than-life personalities.
Auditions will be held on Saturday, October 11, from noon to 2:30 p.m. and Tuesday, October 14, from 7 to 9:30 p.m. Callbacks will be held on Wednesday, October 15, from 7 to 10 p.m.
Auditions and callback will be held at ActorsNET, 635 North Delmorr Avenue, Morrisville, Pennsylvania.
Please reserve your audition slot via SignUp Genius.
Appointments are VERY strongly encouraged, though walk-ins will be seen on an availability basis. Please understand that your scheduled timeslot will be your arrival and prep time before your audition, so you may not be seen at your scheduled time.
You may also be asked to read with other auditioners, so please allow at least 30 minutes for your audition. If time is a factor for you, please communicate that upon booking your audition slot.
Actors will be asked to read from sides available at ww.actorsnetbucks.org under the AUDITION SIDES tab. The sides will also be available at the audition.
Please prepare an RRP (Relaxed Received Pronunciation) accent for your audition.
Monologues are not required but should you like to perform one no longer than two minutes, you will be given the opportunity.
Please bring a list of all conflicts (including any tentative ones) from October 2025 through February 2026.
A headshot and resume are very much appreciated but not mandatory. Alternatively, you may send these materials ahead of time to Producer Karolina Matyka at Karolina@ActorsNetBucks.org.
When the cantankerous novelist Charles Condomine hosts a seance one fateful evening as research for his new novel, the “happy medium” accidentally summons the ghost of Charles’s vibrant and mischievous first wife, Elvira, who is more than happy to wreak some havoc on the proceedings until an unfortunate accident sees her joined on the “other side,” only adding to the “blithe spirits” that will now haunt the hapless author.
Rehearsals will begin the fourth week of October and continue through to the final tech week before the show opens on January 3, 2026. There will be large blocks of scheduled time off for the holidays during November and December.
Participants are required to submit all conflicts at the auditions and, since the bulk of the rehearsal period will be during the winter months when inclement weather is a factor and may necessitate schedule flexibility, continue to update the production team on new conflicts that arise even AFTER the rehearsal calendar has been distributed.
“Blithe Spirit” runs from January 30 through February 15, 2026, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., and Sundays at 2 p.m. Call time for actors is one hour before the show starts.
There will be two shows (2 and 8 p.m.) on Saturday, February 7. Cast members are required to attend and participate in the Strike at the end of the last performance on February 15.
We are seeking an ensemble cast of seven actors (five female presenting and two male presenting) for this production. ActorsNET strives to foster an environment of diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism in all productions. Roles are open to performers of all races, gender identities, sexual orientations, body types, ages (18+), and abilities. All roles are non-equity and unpaid.
The play is set in 1941 England among well-bred and well-off people, so all characters (save Edith) will be required to employ a refined British accent. Please prepare an RRP (Relaxed Received Pronunciation) accent for your audition.

Those auditioning should provide all conflicts from October 12 through February 1 on the audition form, including all holiday travel dates. Conflicts that arise after casting may lead to recasting of a role. Please dress in comfortable clothing for improvisational exercises. Physical comedy is a must for this true comedic farce.
