Theatre--Performance

The Firelight Performing Arts adult group Is opening their spring show, Bell, Book and Candle, next Thursday (February 25). The show will run Thursday February 25th through the 27th and March 4th through the 6th at 7:30 pm.  Tickets are available on the website or by calling (337) 962-0306. Below is a little information about the show.

Greenwhich Village witch Gillian Holroyd (Sandy Landry) has been unlucky in love and restless in life. She admires from afar her neighbor, publisher Shep Henderson (Mitch Landry), who one day walks into her apartment to use the telephone. When she learns he is about to marry an old college enemy of hers, Merle Kittridge, she takes revenge by casting a love spell on him (with assistance from her familiar, Pyewacket), but begins falling for him herself.

Meanwhile, the author of a best-selling book, Magic in Mexico, whom Shep has expressed an interest in meeting, arrives on the scene (thanks to a little magic). Sidney Redlitch (Vincent P. Barras), who is researching a book on witches in New York, acquires an "inside" collaborator when Gillian's warlock brother Nicky (John Bess) volunteers his services--in exchange for a portion of the proceeds. Add a bit of help and mischief from Gillian's Aunt Queenie (Laura Blum) and you have the makings of a spell you won't soon forget.
