The University of West Florida Department of Theatre presents “Blithe Spirit” by Noël Coward. Performances will be held October 21-23 and October 28-30 with shows at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 2:30 p.m. on Sunday. All performances will take place in the Mainstage Theatre of the Center for Fine and Performing Arts, Building 82, on the Pensacola Campus.

Noël Coward’s comedy “Blithe Spirit” revolves around socialite and novelist Charles Condomine who hopes to find material for his next book by holding a séance. However, he quickly learns that the marriage vow “Til death do us part” does not mean exactly what he thinks when the eccentric Medium, Madame Arcati conjures up the ghost of his temperamental first wife, Elvira. Despite him being happily married to his second wife Ruth, Elvira refuses to let Charles go. Can Madame Arcati solve the problem that has now been created or will she continue to only make it worse?

The Inflation Reduction Act was just passed by the U.S. Congress, representing the nation’s largest-ever investment in confronting climate change. Join us as we learn more about the Act and how it will impact Gulf coast communities, from the municipal to the individual level.

While the Act contains some provisions that could expand the use of fossil fuels, it also heavily incentivizes clean renewable energy that could help residents, businesses and local governments install solar panels, access electric vehicle charging stations and make homes and buildings more energy-efficient.

Our presenters are four NW Florida residents who work on issues of climate change, energy and the environment:

Mark Jackson, City of Pensacola
Larry Chamblin, 350 Pensacola
Paige Plier, international sustainability consultant
Christian Wagley, Healthy Gulf

Join-in for some hands-on education about local beaches and waterways with the nonprofit organization Healthy Gulf. We’ll be setup outdoors with displays of popular shells and other items that wash ashore on local beaches, as well as some live fish and other marine life from Santa Rosa Sound. A portion of proceeds from restaurant sales at Red Fish Blue Fish will be donated to Healthy Gulf to support our work in Florida and around the Gulf to protect beaches, waterways, marine life, and communities.
