With its latest community-run production, Ghostlight Theatre treats funny bones and handkerchiefs to the bittersweet comedy of The Cemetery Club. The oft-adapted 1990 play, later turned into a film starring Olympia Dukakis and Ellen Burstyn, introduces audiences to lifelong friends Ida, Lucille, and Doris––who are all in their late 50s and dealing with the untimely deaths of their husbands. Once a month, the widows meet for tea and to air their grievances about grieving before visiting their buried beaus. Ida is ready to move on with her life but can’t let go of her husband’s memory. Lucille relishes her new life as a spinster, whereas dour Doris prefers to stay bitter and alone. When Sam, a butcher and kindly widower, sparks up a romance with Ida, the play turns both heartbreaking and heartwarming as Doris and Lucille attempt to keep their lonely hearts club together.

Ghostlight Theatre

Local thespians Matt McAuley and Richard Vines banded together with the Dysart Community Education Department to conceptualize Ghostlight Theatre on the tenets of entertaining and educating the community with the dramatic arts. The theatre's live productions give members of the community an opportunity to flex their theatrical muscles through acting, designing costumes, and pursuing careers as prop trees. Meanwhile, Ghostlight Theatre’s summer camps prepare budding thespians aged 10–18 for their moments in the spotlight.

The Groupon Guide to: Posting on Craigslist

Craigslist is an online message board where people can interact with their community without ever leaving the safety and smell bubble of their own home. Here are some tips for navigating through Craig's universe:

  • Sell your apartment by describing it as "cozy," "luxurious," and "absolutely not a devil box just full of devils."

  • Get the attention of a "missed connection" you saw on the bus by mentioning a book they were reading and then the more challenging book you were reading.

  • If you're looking for a new couch, start by skimming the section for "furniture" and end by skimming the section for "cooperative families who will let you sit on their backs couch-style."

  • If you're looking for a job, check out the "TV/film/video" category first. That's where Hollywood goes to find all of their new movie stars.

I see you like to read. Would you like me to suggest some thought-provoking tomes?
