Creative Cauldron and fellow DC Area Theaters Join the Ghostlight Project

1/20/2017

Comments

 
On January 19th, 2017 at 5:30pm in each time zone across the country communities gathered outside of theaters to create a "light" for dark times ahead, and to make, or renew, a pledge to stand for and protect the values of inclusion, participation, and compassion for everyone regardless of race, class, religion, country of origin, immigration status, (dis)ability, age, gender identity, or sexual orientation.

Citizens came together outside of their local theaters with their own lights and lit them together to shine bright in the darkness. Then each theater lit their own ghostlight, that will remain lit, to symbolize their pledge to be a safe space for all.
"When our theaters go dark at the end of the night, we turn on a “ghostlight” - offering visibility and safety for all who might enter. This is our theatrical tradition - and our inspiration. Like a ghostlight, the light we create tonight will represent our commitment to safeguard - it will symbolize safe harbor for our values and for any among us who find ourselves targeted because of race, class, religion, country of origin, immigration status, (dis)ability, gender identity, sexual identity or dissident actions in the coming years. And our  lights  will  also  symbolize  hope –a  belief  that  through  our  actions  change  is possible." Laura Connors Hull, Producing Director Creative Cauldron

Creative Cauldron then hosted a community forum around their ghostlight to discuss the issues those in the community are facing and concerns over whats to come. Many people made their own pledges that were posted just outside the theater entrance.
Other participating theaters in the DC area included Folger Theatre, Mosaic Theater Company of DC, Shakespeare Theatre Company, Theater J, and Convergence Theatre in Bethesda.
