I’m Your Boyfriend Now, Nancy: A live reading of A Nightmare on Elm Street

Ghostlight Ensemble presents the Halloween installment of its ongoing live reading series in October: I’m Your Boyfriend Now, Nancy: A live reading of A Nightmare on Elm Street.

Join us at 7 p.m. on Thursday, October 26, at Black Eagle Club (1938 W Irving Park Rd, Chicago, IL 60613), for Red Bull and vodkas as we try to stay awake all night and not get killed!

A Nightmare on Elm Street is the 1984 American supernatural slasher film, written and directed by Wes Craven, that gave the world Freddy Krueger — a genre defining villain with burn scars and a blade-fingered glove who preys on the teenagers in their dreams, which in turn kills them in real life.

The cast is:

Freddy Krueger: Phil Lister
Nancy Thompson: Josephine Longo
Glenn Lantz, others: Mack Alexander
Christina “Tina” Gray, Doctor, others: Becca Argento
Rod Lane, Mr. Lantz, others: Khnemu Menu-Ra
Marge Thompson, Mrs. Gray: Maria Burnham
Lt. Donald ”Don” Thompson: Chad Wise

The reading is directed by Jean E. Mueller-Burr.

Food and drink are available for purchase at Black Eagle Club.

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