Straight to the Stars Youth Theatre, WCPR’s children’s theatre program producing non-musical plays starring high school students, is thrilled to present Ghostlight by Stephen Gregg for their summer 2023 production. This highly reviewed play is funny, emotional, and unique. When indifferent student Garbiela Nettles is inexplicably admitted to the prestigious Doves Forge Academy, all she wants to do is leave. But before she can get herself expelled, Garbiela starts to hear sounds that no one else hears: ghost echoes from the remnants of a long-ago tragedy in the school’s theatre. As she investigates the sounds (by joining the disastrous play in progress), Garbiela uncovers a story that’s both surprising and surprisingly moving. Theatrically staged using the production’s audience and live sound effects, Ghostlight has hilarious characters, unexpected twists, and a riotous finale.
