The Chicago Reader has announced its Best of Chicago 2019: ARTS & CULTURE winners and Ghostlight was awarded runner up for Best Off Loop company.

This is an amazing honor, especially considering we are only three years old, there are over 200 theatre companies in the Chicago area and from all those choices, Chicago readers voted us second only to the storied Steppenwolf Theatre — a company that was founded in 1974, has a multi-million dollar budget, owns its own theater complex and regularly sends plays on to Broadway.

Thank you to everyone who voted for us.

We're also thrilled to announced that our Co-Artistic Director Maria Burnham was named Best Director and Best Playwright.

In addition, Stefanie Johnsen, one of our regular guest artists (who worked with us on Krampus and An Ideal Husband), was named Best Designer and Improvised Jane Austen (who worked with us on Gingerbread Grindhouse and will be featuring in our upcoming Holiday Cabernet) was named Best Improv Group.

Congratulations to all the winners!
