The Ghostlight Project - Milford Arts Council
The Milford Arts Center is taking part in this Ghostlight Project. Outside of theaters across our timezone, the theatrical community across the country, joins in solidarity through a shared commitment to greater inclusion, participation and compassion in our theaters and our communities. 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. Please join us and bring a light to show your solidarity. For more information, please go to: https://theghostlightproject.com/.
