Ghost Light: Echoes of the Revolution

Ghost Light: Echoes of the Revolution brings the American Revolution home to our community. Through the imagined voices of real people, the play tells the story of Patriots and Loyalists, Native Americans and enslaved people, farmers, soldiers, ministers, and community leaders whose lives were caught up in the struggle for independence. The Revolution was not something that happened only at famous battlefields and in distant cities; it reached into homes, churches, farms, and communities here, where neighbors sometimes fought neighbors and ordinary people faced extraordinary choices. Ghost Light shines a light on those local lives and reminds us that the history of the American Revolution happened here, too.
