Bell Book and Candle was written by John van Druten and directed by Melanie Hayno for Playmakers Theater. This bewitching romantic comedy takes place in 1953 in Gillian Holroyd’s apartment in the Murray Hill district of New York City. The set design is enchanting, the costumes are spectacular, and the characters are captivating and humorous. Opening night was Melanie Hayno’s directorial debut, and it was a memorable performance by the entire cast. The Director noted that this run of ‘Bell Book and Candle’ is dedicated to the late Katie Planche-Friedrichs, who gave Melanie her first role at Playmakers in the 1978 production of Gypsy.
‘Bell Book and Candle’ will run through November 18, and the November 8 performance will benefit The St. Tammany Art Association! For more information, visit www.playmakersinc.com or call 985-893-1671.
