Program Note
Alex Thompson and Kelly O’Sullivan’s moving, gently comic collaboration is about the power of live theater in making sense of our offstage dramas and personal narratives. Ghostlight centers on Dan, a melancholic middle-aged construction worker grieving a family tragedy. Cut off from his devoted wife, Sharon, and talented but troubled daughter, Daisy, Dan finds comfort and community in a misfit company of amateur actors. While moonlighting in a low-rent production of Shakespeare’s most protean tragedy, Dan is forced to confront his buried emotions. Real-life family Keith Kupferer, Katherine Mallen Kupferer, and Tara Mallen bring tenderness and authenticity to this poignant portrait, while Dolly de Leon — last seen stealing the scene in Triangle of Sadness — is hilarious as Dan’s irascible, improbable co-star.
