Ghostlight is proud to Announce the cast for "Bug"
Ghostlight Theater
Company is producing "Bug" by Tracy Letts, to be directed by Aaron
Foss.
PLAY SYNOPSIS: Set in a seedy Oklahoma City motel room, the play centers on the
meeting between Agnes, a divorced waitress with a fondness for drugs, booze, and
isolation, and Peter, a soft-spoken Gulf War drifter introduced to her by her
friend, R.C. Agnes stays at the hotel in hopes of avoiding her physically
abusive ex-husband, Jerry, who was just released from prison. At first, she lets
Peter sleep platonically on her floor, but not long after she promotes him to
the bed. Matters become more complicated as Jerry eagerly returns to the woman
he loves, expecting to resume their relationship. On top of that, there's a
hidden bug infestation problem that has both Agnes and Peter dealing with
scathing welts and festering sores—which has Peter believing this is the result
of experiments conducted on him during his stay at an army hospital. Their fears
soon escalate to an intense paranoia. Conspiracy theories and twisted logic take
hold as Agnes and Peter, and the audience, will question what is truly real.
The Cast:
Agnes - Victoria Hogan
Peter - Matt Lacroix
R. C. - Christin Clohosey
Goss - Michael Shine
Dr. Sweet - Seth Abbott

Our Mission
The mission of ghostlight theater co. of new england is to challenge the prevailing notion that theatre is a quaint hobby when left to the amateur, and may only rise to the level of "artform" when handled by those charging for their services and/or presenting work that mirrors the industry's status quo. Instead, ghostlight works to prove that theatre gives a voice to all; by creating theatre that varies wildly in its subject matter and style but always aims at breaking down barriers and stylistic strangleholds, ghostlight encourages a deeper understanding and appreciation of this oldest of artforms by audiences, artists, and those members of the public who might usually not even consider attending live theatre.
