In August, Ghostlight Ensemble will present the third installment of Happy Hour — a staged reading series made up of short plays with one thing in common, they’re all set in bars. The setting for this event will be, naturally, a bar. So, join us as at My Buddy’s as we raise a glass to that oldest of human inspiration: spirits in a glass.
Happy Hour will feature a mix of writers from the greater Chicago area and across the Midwest, as well as other lands far beyond. Writers from around the world submitted more than 300 scripts for consideration.
The one-night event kicks off our 10th Season at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, at My Buddy's (4416 North Clark St., Chicago, IL 60640). Donations will be accepted at the door only.
