Between Here and the City of Mexico is a beguiling, sweeping ode to a city flush with the promise of revolution, and to the times in life when everything seems possible.

A ghost light is an electric light that is left illuminated on the stage of a theater when unoccupied and would otherwise be dark. With an eye toward production-ready scripts, The Ghostlight Reading Series provides an opportunity for writers, directors and collaborators to share the work with an audience before transitioning into production. By focusing on scripts that that reflect our social, historical and cultural diversity, Abingdon aims to become a destination for artists grappling with big questions. |
