Up Next: A Live Reading of Armageddon

Ghostlight Ensemble rings in a new year of live events with the next installment of its ongoing live movie reading series: Houston, you have a problem: A live reading of Armageddon.

Join us at 7 p.m. on Thursday, January 30, at Black Eagle Club (1938 W. Irving Park Rd., Chicago, IL 60613), as we all just try to survive the impending end of the world…

Armageddon is a 1998 American science fiction disaster film produced and directed by Michael Bay that follows a misfit team of deep-core drillers hand-picked by NASA to save Earth from an extinction-level asteroid hit. Using some questionable science, movie NASA devises a plan to drill a deep hole into the asteroid, into which they will insert and detonate a nuclear bomb to destroy it.

And stick around after the reading is done because you don’t want to miss Backstage Boogie Karaoke. Come together with the cast of Houston, You Have a Problem as we belt out our favorite Aerosmith tunes. (Non-Aerosmith song choices, also allowed.)

There is a suggested donation of $5 at the door.

Up Next: A live reading of The Breakfast Club

Ghostlight Ensemble kicks off a new year of live movie readings with Does Barry Manilow Know That You Raid His Wardrobe?" A Live Reading of The Breakfast Club on Thursday, January 25, 2024.

Join us at 7 p.m. at Black Eagle Club (1938 W. Irving Park Rd., Chicago, IL 60613), as we sneak some cigs in the supply closet and agree that Ally Sheedy looked much better before her “makeover”.

The Breakfast Club is the era-defining, classic 1985 American teen coming-of-age film written, produced and directed by John Hughes. Five strangers, with seemingly nothing in common, end up together in Saturday detention and throughout the course of the day shed their personae and emerge into unlikely friendships.

The live reading is directed by Chad Wise.

There is a suggested donation of $5 at the door, which will help Ghostlight fund its upcoming season.
