The Georgia Southern Theatre will open its 2023-2024 season with a world premiere production, “Ghostlighting” by Steve Patterson.
As a small theatre company rehearses a new play about an infamously haunted English Manor, things begin to happen. Little sounds. Incongruities. When the playwright arrives to view the work, the incongruities multiply and begin to manifest in the actors as well as the theatre. In the Theatre, Something—somewhere—has awakened. Oregon Book Award winner Steve Patterson dips into the world of ghost stories and the unique relationship between theatres and the supernatural, while simultaneously exploring how a new play finds its feet.
Opening on Oct. 11 and running through Oct. 15 at the Black Box Theatre in the Center for Art and Theatre, tickets are just $6 for students and $12 for general admission. Showtimes are 7:30pm each night, with a 2pm matinee on Sunday.
