GRIMM2
​Welcome to the Dark Side
The original Grimm’s Fairy Tales are far from sweet, naive, innocent, syrupy, or charming. They are not typical at all: Death. Cannibalism. Death. Buried alive. Death. Burned alive. Death. Kidnapping. Death. Beheading and body parts. Death. These tales are not for the faint of heart!
Join us for a stroll through dark forests and nasty characters but please, don’t keep a body count.
Everything is done on stage. All the costumes, the props, the sound effects, our audience will see it all!
This is a great play for having fun with character and anyone can play any character! It’s all about taking on a role. Put on a crown and you instantly become a king with the right posture and attitude. Anyone can become anything in a fairy tale!
We can describe the theme of this play in one sentence,
Never turn your back on your stepmother.

• Ghost Light Theatre
LA BOHEME
La Boheme depicts the struggle of life in New York’s lower East side in the 1980s, the dichotomy between wealth and poverty and homelessness. As well as the ravages of drug addiction and the AIDS crisis. The characters are a diverse mix.
Sadly, society and the media can lead us to believe that some of these characters can teach us nothing except what not to do. There is still so much stigma where too often people are judged by labels that have been thrust upon them and not for who they are as human beings.
And yet this is precisely what La Boheme is going to do. We will use these diverse characters to show the very best of humanity and compassion, which ultimately goes to show that we should never judge a book by its cover.
Join Ghost Light Theate as we discuss and discover that although life can be filled with tragedies, losses, illness, relationship breakdowns, struggles of all kinds, we do not have to let them define us or swallow us up. We can always choose to focus on life’s silver linings and to measure our lives in love. Through La Boheme we will be reminded not to get so bogged down in routine and repetition, going from a to b without stopping to take in the sights, lest we forget to live.

• Barnstormers​
Dissident Lace & Ink
Inspired by real letters, written at the beginning of the twentieth century, this fast-paced comedy asks: What is revolution? What does it mean to be at odds with the world? How do we fulfill our potential? And how the hell did we grow old together?
The Sory:
The president’s job of Mount College, the school from seminary for docile wives is up for grabs. Can it be transformed in to a liberal arts college for freethinking minds.
Despite proto-feminist views, despite a fondness for declarations such as, “We are a revolution”, can our cast get the school to ditch its mandatory chapel and classes in domestic services in favor of Marks’ courses on Virginia Woolf’s “Orlando” and have students “doubt sex, doubt gender, doubt language, doubt everything.” Will the new president eventually go public with her true feelings about women’s suffrage, despite objections from Mount College’s donors?
Join the Barnstormers readers theatre as we step back into the past, swishing and gliding, from 1899 to the lead-up to World War II.
That’s Forty years of history there!
This truly a very fun, complicated roller-coaster of friendship!
Starting September 19th to December 5th
