GHOSTLIGHT tells the true story of the life and death of infamous Ziegfeld Follies showgirl and silent film star Olive Thomas, her meteoric rise to fame alongside Fanny Brice, her affair with a married Ziegfeld, her whirlwind Hollywood marriage to movie star Jack Pickford, and her downward spiral into drugs and alcohol, resulting in her tragic and untimely death at age 25 in Paris. GHOSTLIGHT originally premiered at The New York Musical Theatre Festival in 2011.

Emerging Artists returns with their one-of-a-kind festival. Visit the theater any evening during this three-week event, and you'll find yourself transported in a number of surprising ways: by a single performer embodying a whole host of characters; by a more experimental theater piece "done differently" that challenges and delights; by a cozy two-person show exploring relationships; or perhaps by a bouncy new musical that will have you humming. Emerging Artists has always been about new works, new talents, new voices. That's never been more evident than now.
