Q: How many Ghostlight Ensemble members had pet roosters as children?
A: Two. (Which we're pretty sure is two more than any other theatre company in Chicago.)
Want more bizarre trivia about the members of Ghostlight Ensemble?
Well, you'll be able to get all the embarrassing scoop at our Launch Party on Saturday, October 1.
Join us for an evening of songs, drinks and general merriment at babyATLAS. Come get to know the company and the Ensemble — who we are, what we plan on doing, how we plan on doing it, who has a twin, who has Twinings Tea and how you can help.
There will be karaoke. There will be snacks. There will be an informational scavenger hunt in which you could score some season tickets by collecting little known facts about Ghostlight Ensemble members from the members themselves (see roosters as pets above).
And yes, there is a bar.
The event is free, but as we are raising funds for our company and season programming, we kindly ask for a donation of $5 (or more!) at the door.
Can't make it but have money burning a hole in your pocket? Well, you can just skip straight to the giving right here.
The event takes place 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturday, October 1, at Matilda's babyATLAS (3101 N. Sheffield Ave., Chicago, IL 60657).
The ghostlight, though simple, is a hallowed theater tradition: a single, ever-burning light warding off the darkness long after the final curtain call. It's a connection between our past and our future. Show after show, it serves as a constant reminder that there's always another story, another life, another truth ready to be shared. Ghostlight Ensemble asks questions that challenge the status quo through timeless stories, immersive environments and unconventional staging.
