Ghost Light Collective to Host SCRATCH NIGHT

Ghost Light Collective will present SCRATCH NIGHT, written and performed by members of the collective. The production will be presented at Pine Box Rock Shop (12 Grattan St, Brooklyn, NY 11206) on Thursday, February 26th at 6:30pm. The performance will run approximately 120 minutes.

Scratch Night is an electrifying evening of Original Theatre, storytelling, and comedy created by members of Ghost Light Collective with cameos by their mentors. Held at Pine Box Rock Shop in Brooklyn, the showcase offers artists a chance to share fresh, in-progress work in a vibrant, low-pressure setting. It's a space for risk-taking, collaboration, and community—where new voices are celebrated, seasoned artists lend their guidance, and audiences get a first look at bold, imaginative pieces before they fully take shape.

The creative team includes Isabella Gallegos and Jeremy Rishe.
