Does Barry Manilow Know That You Raid His Wardrobe? 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 cast is:

John Bender: Kirk Jackson
Claire Standish: Miona Lee
Andrew Clark: Johnny Moran
Allison Reynolds: Jean E. Mueller-Burr
Brian Johnson: Norman J. Burt
Richard Vernon: Mark Pracht
Carl: Nick Conrad
Assorted Parents: Chad Wise and Maria Burnham

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.
