Ghostlight Ensemble will present the premiere of Drink the Past Dry, a site-specific piece of immersive theatre about the connections we have to the past and how sometimes to move forward, we have to go back. Check out photos from the show.
Written by Ensemble Member Maria Burnham, this original piece of site-specific theatre is set in a nondescript neighborhood bar in the middle of Chicago that looks like every other bar in every other neighborhood in the city. But this bar has a secret. It can take you anywhere in time…but only once and only within the walls of the bar, so it turns out not to be as popular a place as one might think.
