Led by Music Director Mary-Mitchell Campbell, Artistic Director Jenny Gersten, and Producing Creative Director Clint Ramos, the 2026 Encores! series opens February 4 (through 15) with High Spirits, directed by Tony Award winner Jessica Stone with Encores! Music Director Mary-Mitchell Campbell. When the eccentric, bike-riding Madame Arcati unknowingly summons the ghost of Charles’s ex-wife, Elvira, she proves a formidable, and invisible, match for his current wife, Ruth. Based on Noël Coward’s beloved play Blithe Spirit, this Tony-nominated musical is full of haunted hijinks and features a brassy, swinging score by Hugh Martin and Timothy Gray that has rarely been heard since its original Broadway run in 1964.
