The Movie "Ghostlight" Shows This Thursday

According to The New York Times, “In this tragic drama, whose title comes from the theater tradition of leaving a single light on after all other lights are switched off, a family is roiled by the death of a teenage son, and brought together by a local production of “Romeo and Juliet.” It’s theater as therapy….From [the NYT] review: It’s a gentle story, full of tender moments, and knowing that the parents and daughter in the main cast are a family in real life increases the warmth. There’s a complexity to their conversations, the way their interactions are never one-note (as parents and teens often are in films), that you can sense has its roots in real life.” The Village on College Hill, an Easton, PA community group, shows films every second Thursday of the month. Upcoming films include “Inside Out” (the original) [February 15]; “Four Daughters” [March 13]; and “Anora” [April 10].
