at The Royal Theatre, 1597 Bay Avenue, Trail.
Monday, October 21 @ 4 pm. Doors open at 3:30 pm.

When Dan (Keith Kupferer), a melancholic middle-aged construction worker, finds himself drifting from his wife and daughter after his son’s suicide, he discovers community and purpose in a local theatre’s production of Romeo and Juliet.
But as the drama on stage starts to mirror his own life, he finds the tragedies of the play too close to his own. Unwilling to confront his grief at home, he begins to confront his loss through the play.
Funny and heartwarming, Ghostlight is an exploration of how we feel love and loss through art.

“It deals with [grief and loss] in a really fresh way.” Claudia Puig, FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
“Directors Kelly O’Sullivan (who also provides the exquisite screenplay) and Alex Thompson have delivered a hushed, confidently devastating, and ultimately hopeful drama that never follows a traditional path.” Sara Michelle Fetters, MovieFreak.com
