GHOST LIGHT to Make Debut at Irvington Theater

On Friday, October 30 at 7:30PM, Irvington Theater will present Ghost Light, a one-night-only, multidisciplinary Halloween performance featuring more than a dozen professional artists from across the Rivertowns.

Spanning music, poetry, theater, film, opera, and dance, the production transforms the Theater's 124-year-old space into a haunting, ever-changing landscape of live performance. Performances will unfold in unexpected corners of the theater, offering fresh perspectives on the historical space while audiences remain comfortably seated.

The title Ghost Light draws on a theatrical tradition of leaving a single light glowing onstage after the curtain falls. While serving a practical safety purpose, the ghost light has also inspired lore about the spirits said to linger in theaters long after the audience has gone.

Conceived by Irvington Theater Director Katerina Wong, Ghost Light reflects her vision for the Theater as a gathering place for artistic experimentation and community collaboration. "It's been an honor to step into the role of Irvington Theater Director," says Wong. "Conversations with local artists, cultural leaders, and residents in my first months have helped shape a shared vision for the Theater and inspired Ghost Light. In partnership with established and emerging Rivertowns arts organizations, including Rivers Edge Theater Company and Hudson Valley Arts Collective, we've created a spellbinding evening of live art that captures the magic of Halloween in the Rivertowns. Join us, get into the spirit, and wear a costume if you wish!"
