Make/Believe 2021 — Stream On-Demand


  • Chicago, IL 60625 (map)

Ghostlight Ensemble brings back its popular Make/Believe festival in 2021 with six short plays by playwrights from around the country to be presented virtually in June.

This curated festival features a mix of short plays by local and out-of-state playwrights that were written for audiences 10 and under, but which are also meant to be enjoyed by all ages.

The six stories that make up this year’s Make/Believe festival are filled with young people, plants and a puppy who must face great obstacles to discover who (or what) they’re meant to be. See the full list of plays here.

Make/Believe 2021 will have two live-ish performances at 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 5 and Sunday, June 6, 2021, with optional fun, age-appropriate theatre classes available afterwards for those with an interest in creating their own theatre at home. The performances will be available to stream on-demand beginning Monday, June 7 and continuing through the end of the month.
