Ghostlight Ensemble presents the next installment of its ongoing live movie reading series in celebration of Pride Month: I Like Girls. A Lot.: A live reading of But I'm a Cheerleader. Join us at 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 15, at Black Eagle Club (1938 W Irving Park Rd, Chicago, IL 60613), and we’ll raise a glass of something pink and fruity and not at all gay.

But I'm a Cheerleader is a a 1999 American satire/teen romantic comedy/cult classic that stars Natasha Lyonne as Megan Bloomfield, a high school cheerleader whose parents send her to a residential in-patient conversion therapy camp to "cure" her lesbianism. At camp, Megan realizes that she is indeed a lesbian and embraces her sexuality.

The reading is directed by Kayla V. White and Justin Broom. Food and drink is available for purchase at Black Eagle Club.

There is a suggested donation of $5 at the door, which will help Ghostlight fund its upcoming season. We’ll also be collecting donations for the The Center on Halsted’s Senior Pantry & Youth Services. The full list of needed items can be found on the Ghostlight website at: https://www.ghostlightensemble.com/but-im-a-cheerleader. Bring an item or $$$ is always welcome.
