Ghostlight Ensemble Theatre Co.

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.

Thanks to everyone who attended Gingerbread Grindhouse!

And that's a wrap on our 2017 holiday production!

Thanks to everyone who came out to help Marie and the toys save Christmas during Gingerbread Grindhouse. We had full houses every night and for that we are so very thankful. We hope you have a happy holiday yourself with zero deaths by dolls.

We'll see you in 2018 at our 20th anniversary live reading of Spice World in January and at our spring production of An Ideal Husband in April.
