After working in community theatre for several years, Jeanette Bonner was inspired to create Ghost Light, a web series that offers a comic and loving glimpse into the backstage life.

Bonner writes, produces and stars in the show, filled with showmances, sassy props masters, lovable techies and all the tribulations of running a not-for-profit theatre.

“Ten years after my experience at Sesame Street [national tour], I found myself re-telling tales of backstage life at parties,” says Bonner. “People who don’t do theatre loved them. People who did theatre related to them. It occurred to me that it’s time to bring these stories – and most importantly, these people – into the limelight.“

Watch the trailer for season two, which launches April 12, below:
