Rachel Louchen reports from Egremont. The GhostLit Repertory Theatre Company is new in name but not experience, returning to the Barn at the Egremont Village Inn for its second production after a roaring success last summer. On Saturday, Jan. 13, the theater company hosted a winter gala with drinks followed by a production of the Sondheim favorite "Into the Woods." It was produced by [above left] Caitlin Teeley, Harrison Lang (both of whom directed) and Gigi Teeley, who also starred as Jack's Mother, Cinderella's Mother and Granny. This was the original team behind last summer's production of "Spring Awakening," the company's first. "Spring Awakening" sold out nine times, as did "Into the Woods." A production of "Cabaret" is being planned for this spring, also at the Egremont Village Inn.


Kelsea Beck stars as the Baker's Wife, Mary Ellen Devanny and Mandy Harrington; Leslie Shatz, Steve Shatz and Rich Petrino.


Elizabeth Cadorette and Samantha Burdick; Jordan Cahill, Rachel Cahill and Zoe Cahill.


House manager Matthieu Boudreau, lighting designer Izzy Philkins and Jackson Teeley, who has three parts in the production including Cinderella's Prince; house manager Elinor Cherin, Brianna Nicola as Little Red Riding Hood and Julia Murphy.


John Monteverde and Krysten St. John are both drama teachers with students in the production; Julia Ray and Maya Falconi.
