Ghostlight Ensemble continues its Nightlight young audiences series with Make/Believe, a curated festival of short plays by playwrights from around the country.

The plays, geared towards children 12 and under, all have one unifying feature – strong female characters.

Works include:

• Asherella by Lori Taylor

• Ava’s First Escape Room by Kim Z. Dale

• Epic Tales From the Lane of Melanin by the FEMelanin collective

• Little Red Reboot by Sonya Sobieski

• The Queen of Cocoa Puffs and the Cap’n Crunch King by Corey Pajka

• Scaredy Friends by Carolyn Minor

• Snow White, Who is Also Called Becky, No Rebecca…and the Frog Prince by Jack Helbig and Margaret Helbig

Make/Believe is an expansion of our Nightlight young audiences series, which produces original, adapted and forgotten plays geared toward children and the adults who love them.

This show takes place at Laugh Out Loud Theater, 3851 N. Lincoln Ave., Chicago, IL 60613.
