Stages Repertory Theatre will present the regional premiere of The Spiritualist​. Rosemary Dunn is an English widow who cooks for the school lunch service and communes with the spirits of dead composers (Liszt is her favorite). When a crusading American newspaperman tries to unmask her as a fraud, the so-called “spiritualist” channels a famous rock star to prove that great music is eternal.

A comic drama inspired by true events, The Spiritualist explores the tensions between art and commerce, fact and faith.
