On Tuesday, August 25, 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.

This iteration of Happy Hour features eight plays by a mix of writers from Chicago and Illinois, as well as Florida, New York, Colorado and California. Writers from around the world submitted more than 300 scripts for consideration.

The plays deal with the future, the past, friendship, family and, of course, eggs.

The event will take place at 7 p.m. at My Buddy’s (4416 North Clark St., Chicago, IL 60640). There is a suggested donation of $5 at the door, which will help fund our upcoming season. The past two iterations have been standing room only, so G.E.T. there early if you want a seat!

A full description of the plays is available on our website at ghostlightensemble.com/
