  3. Make/Believe 2022: A Festival for Young Audiences


Ghostlight Ensemble brings its popular Make/Believe festival back to the stage in 2022 with seven short plays by playwrights from around the country to be presented live, outdoors in July. This years curated festival features a mix of new and previously performed plays from past Make/Believe festivals, written by both local and national playwrights. The plays, as always, have been written for audiences 10 and under, but are meant to be enjoyed by all ages. The seven stories that make up this years festival are filled with young people, plants and a puppy who must face great obstacles to discover who (or what) theyre meant to be. From the Filipino-American girl who is trying to find her way home in Sunshine and the Sea of Lost Things to the littlest fish in the ocean proving all sizes matter in Krills Quest, the protagonists in these plays face the types of struggles modern children will recognize from their own lives. All seven plays will be produced on each day of the festival at the new NorthCenter Town Square an outdoor space in the heart of the NorthCenter neighborhood. Some seating will be available, but audience members are encouraged to bring their own chairs and picnics. The show is free, but donations are always appreciated. Make/Believe is part of our Nightlight young audiences series, which produces original, adapted and forgotten plays geared toward children and the adults who love them.
