The Ghostlight Stage Company is delighted to bring back our One Act Double Feature event for our 24/25 season, after it's successful first iteration in our 23/24 season!
More about the event: The Ghostlight's One Act Double Feature gives the audience a look "behind the curtain" and into the process-side of developing 2 new one-act plays. Leading up to the event, casts and creative teams are given 4 brief rehearsals to further develop and rehearse the plays. After these few rehearsals, plays are performed in front of an audience! In addition to having these plays in staged-reading format with light staging and some props/minimal costuming, audiences can take a look into the visions for how the pieces could be if they were to go on and be fully developed in the future. We do this by having design presentations from professional set and costume designers available in a studio space for audiences to ask questions about and view before the performance and during intermission. Each performance also begins and ends with brief commentary from the playwrights and directors of each piece, who give the audience even more insight as to the process of developing the work, their vision for what's to come and their motivation for creating the piece in the first place. You don’t want to miss this innovative night of new work that brings you into the process of play development!!
The Ghostlight Stage Company's 2024 One Act Double Feature will feature Esther Made Me Do It by Nell Adkins and Elizabeth Sacktor, and Artists & Vandals by Erin K. Considine.
Cast & Creative Team available at ticket link with more info.
Artists & Vandals synopsis: After years of odd jobs and struggling to make ends meet, Lyla and Knox are opening their own Art Gallery to critical acclaim and personal pride. They have parented a son and parented each other. Nothing could ruin this night. Nothing but Daniel: who disappeared fifteen years ago, and is now standing in the shadows under the L.
Esther Made Me Do It synopsis: Best friends, Naomi and Ruth, are preparing to audition for their local Purim shpiel. Naomi, gunning for the part of Esther, hopes to kick start her theatrical career. Ruth questions her feelings for Naomi and how long she’s willing to put Naomi’s desires before her own.
Performance will run approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes, including a 10 minute intermission.
This performance will be ASL Translated by GhostLight Artistic Interpreting.
