The Department of Theatre & Drama joins more than 500 theaters across the United States to launch The Ghostlight Project, a collective, simultaneous action to express support for the values of inclusion, compassion, and participation in all community endeavors. Inspired by the theatrical tradition of keeping a “ghost light” on in a darkened theater, The Ghostlight Project endeavors to bring the theatre community together-from Broadway to regional theaters to high schools, colleges and community theaters-to activate a network of people across the country working to support vulnerable communities. Led by theatre faculty and students, the gathering is open to all and will assemble outside on the Walgreen Plaza; in the event of rain it will take place in the lobby of the Arthur Miller Theatre. Attendees are encouraged to bring any electric light source, but no open flames.
