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

"Ghostlight Theater Co. of New England presents:
WAITING FOR GODOT by Samuel Beckett
December 9th - 11th
The Acting Loft in Manchester, NH
WAITING FOR GODOT is Samuel Beckett's Absurdist masterpiece which has entertained and confounded audiences all around the world. Voted "the most significant English language play of the Twentieth Century,"
GODOT arrives on the New Hampshire stage in a production which is as entertaining as it is thought-provoking. Two tramp-ish old men, who call each other Didi and Gogo, wait and wait .... and wait, for someone named Godot to come and save them from their despairing and purposeless existence. While waiting, they bicker, philosophize, eat turnips, share memories, and make conversation. And every once in a while, they try to hang themselves. Better entertainment arrives when an eccentric, pompous man called Pozzo and his absurdly faithful servant Lucky arrive on the scene. Will they provide an answer, or simply raise more questions? Will they entertain, or horrify?
CAST (in order of appearance):
Estragon ............... Peter Josephson
Vladimir ................ Jim Burkholder
Lucky .................... Greg Davis
Pozzo ................... Cory Cochiaro
Boy ....................... Devin Coles
PERFORMANCES: Friday Dec. 9th at 8pm, Saturday Dec. 10th at 2pm AND at 8pm, and Sunday Dec. 11th at 2pm at the The Acting Loft, 670 North Commercial St., Manchester, NH.

* Choose our 2011 season!
* Pick up a copy of the new ghostlight book, "Seven Deadly Sins: a collection of
new plays" (edited by ghostlight members John Sefel and Don Tongue, and
featuring the plays we premiered at our festival this fall) at the meeting for a
special member price of only $10!
* Have a say in the future direction of ghostlight -- Should we be performing
more in Massachusetts? Should we restructure our membership? Should we be going
after the punk rock audience, the intellectual rebels, or both (a.k.a., Zombies,
Brecht, or Zombie-Brecht). More or less of a focus on brand new material?
Not currently a member? You can sign up AT the meeting!
Release of THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS: a collection of new plays
The collection of plays that were performed at the The Seven Deadly Sins Festival is now available on Amazon for $13.95
Collected by ghostlight, Seven Deadly Sins features the fourteen winning short plays included in ghostlight's Seven Deadly Sins festival. Each play focuses on a single sin, allowing it to be an integral part of the larger body of work but also stand on its own, making the collection a great resource for those looking for a single ten-minute one-act to produce, those looking for an evening's-worth of material (allowing you to choose the seven you prefer), and even simply offering a great evening of reading at home! The collection features plays by Jerry Bisantz, Regina Eliot-Ramsey, Jyl Lynn Felman, Teresa Fisher, Peter Floyd, Hortense Gerardo, Brendan Gillett, Sierra Perez-Sparks, David John Preece, Ron Radice, and Andrew Wetmore, with forewords by Jack Neary and Peter Josephson, PhD.
