Happy Hour 3: A Staged Reading of Short Plays Set in Bars

Curated by Maria Burnham
Directors: Colton Alstatt, Genysia Brown, Christine Marie, Alix Rhode, Mary Seigel, Zoe Sjogerman, John Gleason Teske and Alexis Vaselopulos

In August, Ghostlight Ensemble will present the third installment of Happy Hour — a staged reading series made up of short plays with one thing in common, they’re all set in bars. The setting for this event will be, naturally, a bar. So, join us as at My Buddy’s as we raise a glass to that oldest of human inspiration: spirits in a glass.

Happy Hour will feature a mix of writers from the greater Chicago area and across the Midwest, as well as other lands far beyond. Writers from around the world submitted more than 250 scripts for consideration.

More information on the plays will be coming soon.
