Like generations before–and after them–the youth of the 1960s rejected their parents’ values, creating their own styles of dress, language, and ideals.
Have you ever wondered what goes on in the head of mid-pubescents in the middle of academic competition? Your wait is over, and the answer is hilarious, earnest, and full of joy.
Each performer is stronger than the next. Fully committed, bursting with energy, and completely embodying their iconic characters in their own unique ways, the cast pours love into every moment, and the audience feels it. I couldn’t help but smile through most of the performance.
The Ghostlight has been presenting original one acts for three years now and I cannot wait to see what this company does moving forward.
