Ghostlight Ensemble asks questions that challenge the status quo
Ghostlight Ensemble is seeking actor submissions for its upcoming staged reading of Lady Lazarus by Haley Basil, directed by Jessica Love.
Synopsis: Callie is stuck. She can’t finish her goddamn book, can’t pay rent, and can’t seem to get over her ex. And oops! She may have just killed him. So, Callie and her best friend Gia (who maybe-is-in-love-with-her-but-let’s-not-talk-about-that) go on the run, with Callie’s literary agent and a lady cop chasing behind. Can Callie outrun them and her past?
