- **Event Description**: 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.

Included playwrights are: Les Abromovitz, Maeve Chapman, John Dubiel, Will Dunne, Ellen K. Graham, Mathew Green, James Kelsey Nelson and Sam Springhorn.

Directors for Happy Hour are: Colton Alstatt, Genysia Brown, Christine Marie, Alix Rhode, Mary Seigel, Zoe Sjogerman, John Gleason Teske and Alexis Vaselopulos.

Descriptions of the plays are available on our website. 

The event takes place at 7 p.m. Tuesday, August 25. at My Buddy's (4416 North Clark St., Chicago, IL 60640) and will serve as a kickoff to our 10th Season. The past two iterations have been standing room only, so G.E.T. there early if you want a seat!
