Ghost Light Theatre Group
A ghost light is more than a superstition to appease the spirits
residing in a theatre. Our mission here at Ghost Light Theatre Group is to pay
tribute to the past, support the artist of now, and light the stage for the
next generation. Under Artistic Director David Gasperetti, we embrace new plays
and emerging artist. Our goal is to impact the world around us by commenting on
contemporary issues and tell engaging stories in majestic, awe-inspiring ways.
As an emerging theatre company made up of a collective of international artists, we want to explore new ways of creating and supporting international collaboration in theatre. The state of the world as it is now is calling for new voices within the arts from across the globe to come together to start a conversation between artists and the public alike about the future we want to build.

'FAMILY VALUES' - The show...
'Family Values' is a new play by American writer Michael Dalberg, we want to give it the best platform possible by taking it up to the fringe!
'Trent and Liam have completed one last job which hopefully has freed them from
their mafia ties. Set in the Florida Everglades, these two brothers must learn
how to become a real family. Just as their bond seems to strengthen, two
strangers arrive at their hard-to-find home. Are these people here by accident,
or have they been sent by other members of the family? Or worse: are these
people closer to Trent and Liam than they realize?
Family Values is a dark, gritty, physical new drama that explores how perilous
escaping the past can be.'

Where the money goes:
We are desperate to make a dent in the production costs for 'Family Values,' it is extremely expensive to put on a show, and as an emerging company it is very difficult to get financial backing. If we are lucky enough to have a successful run up in Edinburgh, and get the extra costs towards the project, we will have enough money to break even on the expenses. Here are just a few of the things we need to cover:
We have managed to pay the following costs for the production:
Performance Rights: £400
Venue Rental Edinburgh: £ 3800+vat (£4560)
Venue Rental London: £576
But we have a LOT of the vital essentials to make up still:
Costumes, Set, & Props: £500
Transportation Sets: £550
Insurance: £182
Marketing Materials: £300
Technicians Fees: £400
