Ghostlight is sharing our personal stories of why theatre is so important to us and, in turn, to others. We hope you'll feel inspired to support the arts now and forever more.
Jaclyn Jensen, Audience Development Coordinator, Ensemble Member
Mike Wozniak, Visual Design Specialist, Ensemble Member
"Our first date started with Mike in the audience for one of Jackie's shows. Sure, sure, there was dinner and drinks and a romantic rooftop patio, too. But it started in a theatre. That 'theatre' may have been the upstairs of a punk rock bar, but for that show, it was the perfect theatre.
"Our relationship continued with Mike seeing Jackie's shows and being her biggest fan. But seeing shows together became something that really brought us closer together. Being able to connect after sharing these experiences, seeing how shows affect each other, seeing where our perspectives align or not... we learn more about each other.
"A few years ago we took a leap and actually wrote a play together — neither of us are playwrights. But we created something together and it was a highlight in our relationship. And we are looking forward to future projects!
"Whether on stage, back stage, or in the audience, theatre gives you an opportunity to really connect."
