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.
Together we experience emotional excitement of first love, the heart break of losing a partner and yourself, and the joy of finding them again.
