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.

Ghostlight announces change in artistic leadership
Ghostlight announced today that Ensemble members Miona Lee and Maria Burnham have taked over as co-artistic directors from Holly Robison, who has served as an artistic director since the company was founded in 2016. Robison remains with the Ensemble as a producing director.
Both Burnham and Lee are founding members of the company and veterans of the Chicago theatre scene. Lee previously served as Literary Manager for the company and Burnham as the Marketing and Communications Director. The pair most recently co-directed Ghostlight’s summer show for young audiences, The Selfish Giant.
Full bios for both women can be found in the About section on the Ghostlight website.
Before stepping down, Robison helped guide the new season selection, which focuses on strong, female characters. More about the announcement and the new Ghostlight season can be found here.
