Drink the Past Dry

Written by Maria Burnham
 

The nondescript neighborhood bar in the middle of Chicago looks like every other bar in every other neighborhood in the city. A few regulars sit sipping drinks, making small talk, doing the things people always do in bars. But this bar has a secret. It can take you anywhere in time….

…but only once and only within the walls of the bar, so it turns out it’s not as popular a place as one might think.

But there are some souls who still need to reach out to the past – or to the future – and this is where they come when they do. 

Ghostlight Ensemble presents the premier of this site-specific piece of immersive theatre as part of our season on time. Season 8 celebrates a symphony of creativity that resonates across cultures and time, reminding us that art is a universal language that binds us all.
