It’s Turkey Time! For the first time since 2019, Ghostlight Ensemble will present Must Eat TV: A Live Reading of Your Favorite Thanksgiving Television Episodes. This is the Thanksgiving-themed installment of the company’s ongoing live reading series, and the last live reading of the year.
Thanksgiving is that strangest of American traditions involving stuffing ourselves silly with turkey, pie and whatever weird food that only your family serves at Thanksgiving (20 different kinds of Jello molds, anyone?), as well as ignoring that one cousin nobody likes and tiptoeing around politics while giving thanks and watching television. So join your Ghostlight family (including our weird cousin) for a celebration of the Great American Eating Holiday.
The lineup features “Bart vs Thanksgiving” from The Simpsons , “The Miracle of Thanksgiving” from Full House and “Turkey in a Can” from Bob’s Burgers at 7 p.m. at at Black Eagle Club (1938 W Irving Park Rd, Chicago, IL 60613), in North Center.
