In February, Ghostlight shakes up its live movie reading series with Ghostlight's Gone to the Movies: A live singing of our favorite movie soundtrack songs.
Ensemble members and guest artists sing their favorite songs from movie soundtracks (or Broadway shows) and our MCs will share a little movie trivia about each. You’re invited to join in the fun afterwards with your own karaoke version of YOUR favorite movie song.
It all begins at 7 p.m. on Thursday, February 20 at Black Eagle Club.
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.
Ghostlight Ensemble brings back the popular Thanksgiving installment of its ongoing live movie reading series, Must Eat TV 3: A Live Reading of Your Favorite Thanksgiving Television Episodes.
Thanksgiving is all about stuffing yourself silly with family and friends; ignoring your redneck cousin Jack and his 23 kids and his 12 dogs; giving thanks; and television. So join your Ghostlight family, friends and cousin Jack for a celebration of everyone's favorite eating holiday.
The lineup features “Blitzgiving” from How I Met Your Mother, “Shibboleth” from The West Wing and “Auntsgiving” from Blackish at 7:30 p.m. at Carbon Arc Bar & Board, located in the Davis Theater in North Center.
There is a suggested donation of $5 at the door, which will help Ghostlight fund its upcoming season, AND a non-perishable good or additional cash donation to benefit North Center’s Common Pantry, which provides emergency food and social services to those in need.
