Paid Actors, Designers and Stage Manager Sought for 2025 One Act Double Feature at Ghostlight Stage Company

The Ghostlight Stage Company is currently seeking PAID ACTORS, DESIGNERS, DIRECTORS, and STAGE MANAGER for our upcoming 2025 One Act Double Feature, featuring the works of America’s Favorite Feminist by Keenya Jackson and The Judgment Day of Robert Johnson by Myles Johnson.

About the Event: The Ghostlight Stage Company will be producing 2 original one act plays on October 13, 2025 as part of its third annual One Act Double Feature event. This event is unique in that it is a hybrid between a typical staged reading and a full production. There will be a short 1-2 week rehearsal process of only 4 rehearsals per piece that concludes with performances for the public at the end. In addition, all plays will be assigned a costume and set designer who will come up with design concepts for the plays and a director who will come up with a full vision for the piece, as if they were being fully produced. These designs for sets and costumes will be shared with the audience in the form of lobby displays (this can look like costume design sketches, set models, electronic renderings, etc). Additionally, the directors and playwrights will both speak during the performance about how the play could continue on in its development to give the audience a better idea of what the production would look like on a full scale. The event will “pull back the curtain” for audiences to show them what all goes into the process of developing new work, while also giving playwrights the valuable experience of having a full team of designers, a director and actors to explore their piece without it being fully produced yet.

All roles are PAID. Learn more about each role and how to apply today at: https://www.theghostlightstageco.com/work-with-us

ABOUT THE GHOSTLIGHT:
The Ghostlight Stage Company is a nonprofit arts organization in the Greater Cincinnati area that is breaking down barriers and innovating new ways to experience the arts.

Similarly to how a ghost light in a theater is a constant reliable source of light at all times regardless of if the theater is open or not, we hope to be that for our community.

At The Ghostlight Stage Company, we constantly challenge the idea of what a “stage” can be with programming that inspires collaboration between all of the art mediums. With our founders being inspired by the way musical theatre encourages designers, dancers, composers, actors, directors, and more to collaborate and create something together; The Ghostlight wants to take this idea even further with programming that goes beyond just traditional theatre. We prioritize our four core values in everything we do and pursue our mission through: community-engaging theatrical experiences, innovative interdisciplinary arts events, and unique educational programming for both youth and young professionals.
