    GHOST LIGHT is an illuminating piece about a longing for connection. This play would be great for a talented actor and lighting designer.

    I just want to put my arms around Keagan and reassure him. What a beautiful monologue about loneliness, light, and connection. This is so inherently theatrical - what a joy for an actor and lighting designer to play with. Playwright Cassidy Byron writes with great empathy and understanding of the human condition. It will make you do a double take the next time you're on a stage.

    Ghost Light is tender, powerful, and oh so moving. Many of us know what it means to be lonely like this, and know just how much it means when someone else cares. Well done.
