Fight Night: Origins

  • Chicago, IL 60625 (map)

Ghostlight Ensemble is excited to join The Factory Theatre for the revival of Fight Night — a violent cabaret celebrating the art of stage combat through original storytelling and violence design. The latest installment of this periodic series celebrates its origins and the origins of all things.

Ghostlight's contribution is The House of Ideas: The Lost Scene that imagines a more violent end to the collaboration between Stan “The Man” Lee — writer, co-creator, self-positioned face of and greatest champion for Marvel Comics in the 1960’s and beyond — and Jack “The King” Kirby — his rough and tumble collaborator and arguably the greatest artist the genre has ever seen.

The piece, written by Mark Pracht and directed by Ensemble Member Chad wise, stars Bryan Breau, Megan Clarke and Brian Plocharczyk. The fight choreographer is Brian Plocharczyk.
