Kick off August and our 8th Season with Karaoke (and us!)

We’re looking forward to serenading you with the sweet sounds of our karaoke powerhouse ballads at the Season 8 Kickoff on Saturday from 3 to 5 p.m. at My Buddy’s. Tickets are pay-what-you-will, but the first 25 people to reserve tickets at the $10 or more level will G.E.T. a special Ghostlight Ensemble swag bag. (They’re going fast, though!)

We will be celebrating the start of our Eighth Season and long-awaited return to mainstage productions, starting with Alabama Story in September, as well as singing our hearts out for one and all. Actually, we’d prefer it if you sang. We might cause noise complaints from the neighbors.

Learn all about our new season, which includes new partnerships with other Chicago institutions, as well as rocking out to some karaoke courtesy of Championship Karaoke. We’ll have snacks and an open bar from 3-4 p.m., as well.

We’re also raising funds for our Season 8 programming, so we’ll be raffling off lots of great items from Chicago businesses.

The event takes place from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, August 10, at My Buddy’s, 4416 N Clark St, Chicago, IL 60640.

Can’t come, but still want to support Ghostlight, financially? Donate here.

Joins us in August as we Kickoff G.E.T.’s 8th Season

Ghostlight Ensemble invites you to join us for an afternoon of songs, drinks and general merriment at My Buddy’s to kick off our Eighth Season and long-awaited return to mainstage productions and a full season, post-COVID 19 pandemic!

We can’t wait to re-introduce ourselves to you and for you to meet our new artistic management team. At the event you’ll also learn all about our new season, which includes new partnerships with other Chicago institutions and maybe you’ll even see an excerpt from one of the new plays we’ll be bringing you this season.

There will be karaoke. There will be snacks. There will an open bar from 3-4 p.m. And most of all, there will be fun.

We’re also raising funds for our Season 8 programming, so we kindly ask for a donation of $10 (or more!) in advance via Eventbrite or $15 at the door (cash, credit or PayPal). First 25 folks to donate $10 or more will G.E.T. a special Ghostlight Ensemble swag bag!

The Season 8 Kickoff takes place at My Buddy’s (4416 N Clark St, Chicago, IL 60640) from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, August 10, 2024.

And we're off!

The men of Ghostlight (plus one) serenade the crowd during the company's launch party.

Thanks to everyone who made it out for our Launch Party on October 1, at babyATLAS.

We had a blast getting to know you, introducing ourselves to you and also listening to the sweet, sweet sounds of the Dixie Chicks and the Backstreet Boys, as well as ALL of the showtunes.

You can check out photos from the launch over on our Facebook page.

Your generosity at the event will help support our upcoming seasons, which include new works, forgotten classics and a new take on a theatre history staple. We appreciate your faith in us and can't wait to show you what we can do.

If you weren't there and you want to know more about us (or even if you were there and perhaps spent too much time with the rum cake and forgot all about everything else in life), you can find out more on our website.

If you're interested in learning how to support us or work with us, we'd love to hear from you. Shoot us an email or learn more here.
