Black Eagle Club

Ghostlight Ensemble presents the next installment of its live movie readings with<a href="https://www.ghostlightensemble.com/shes-all-that" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Been There, Done That: A Live Reading of She’s All That </a>on Thursday, August 29, 2024. 
Join us at 7 p.m. at Black Eagle Club (1938 W Irving Park Rd, Chicago, IL 60613), as we raise a glass of that classic margarita — rum, orange juice, cranberry juice, and limeade, with a dash of cola — to celebrate this 90s teen rom-com!
<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0160862/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">She’s All That </a>is a 1999 American film following that classic teen plot of turning an ugly duckling into a swan. When Zack's popular girlfriend cheats on him with another boy and breaks up with him, he makes a bet with his friends to turn a school “nerd” into their high school's prom queen.
The reading is directed by Olivia Sieck.
There is a suggested donation of $5 at the door, which will help Ghostlight fund its upcoming season.

As the Civil Rights movement is brewing in Montgomery, Alabama, a segregationist senator and the state librarian clash over the content of a children’s book about bunny rabbits. Meanwhile, a reunion of childhood friends — a Black man and a woman of white privilege — provides a private counterpoint to the public events swirling in the state capital. Political foes, childhood friends and one feisty children’s author inhabit a Deep South of the imagination that brims with humor, heartbreak and hope. 
Inspired by true events, Alabama Story by Kenneth Jones is a drama about censorship, book banning and Civil Rights set within the framework of 1950s racial tensions, but look closer and you’ll see it’s really about the issues facing America today as book bans and book challenges overwhelm libraries and schools across the nation.
Ghostlight will present this immersive piece of theatre set amongst books that refuse to be banned at two local booksellers in Chicago that are ardent supporters of free speech. 
Alabama Story marks Ghostlight’s return to full productions after the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, our eighth season celebrates a symphony of creativity that resonates across cultures and time, reminding us that art is a universal language that binds us all.
