Tickets on sale for The Selfish Giant

Actors have begun rehearsals for The Selfish Giant, which runs in June at Otherworld Theatre in Lakeview.

Tickets are on sale now for The Selfish Giant, a physical theatre production that will mesmerize audiences of all ages.

This story of a giant who builds a wall to keep children off his land runs during the month of June at Otherworld Theatre and is geared toward all ages.

Tickets are available through Brown Paper Tickets and are $5 for children, $10 for adults or $25 for a family of four.

You can also obtain tickets through our Go Fund Me Campaign. The Garden, Ogre, North Wind and Giant levels all come with tickets to the show, along with a host of other goodies. Learn more Becoming a Generous Giant for Children's Theatre here.

Based on Oscar Wilde's short story of the same name, The Selfish Giant illustrates the perils of isolation and the negative consequences of selfishness, but it also teaches us that it is never too late for redemption and for love.

We want to meet you!

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).
