Ghostlight Ensemble is pleased to announce the cast and production team of our Nightlight production for young audiences, The 8th Dwarf by Olivia Sieck.
The play, which takes place in the world of Snow White, tells the story of Binkley, a shy outsider dwarf who dreams of joining the mythical seven. To do so Binkley will need to harness their courage, honesty and kindness to meet the challenges set to them by Snow White.
The cast of The 8th Dwarf is: Ensemble Member Sydney Ray with guest artists Amanda Elana de la Fuente, Drake St. Pierre and Yuni Mora.
The production team is: playwright Olivia Sieck, director John Gleason Teske, stage manager Anna Bundy, costume designer Kasey Wolfgang and producer Maria Burnham.
The 8th Dwarf shows us the power of courage, kindness and wit, and how those characteristics mean more than all the material goods in the world.

The show takes place on Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m. from Feb. 7-15 at the Bughouse Theater (1910 W Irving Park Rd, Chicago, IL 60613).
