How do we connect with those no longer with us? What lurks in the shadows? What scares us? These are the questions the ensemble explores in When the Light Goes Out--all while giving you a good Halloween scare. This show has a suggested rating of PG-13.

Artistic Director, Mary Candler, says, "After nearly two seasons of virtual programming -- including successful Expand The Canon list festivals and the premiere of a holiday classic--we are thrilled to finally return to live performances with this unique, evocative, and spooky new piece. It's a joy to watch our ensemble come together to create something bespoke for Fort Greene."
