Ghost Train is a haunting cautionary tale about the state of the world. The themes discussed grow more timely by the day, and the script unpacks the issues in a really genuine way. I was particularly moved by Laura Baggett and the way her character choices both humanize and critique a woman with a conservative mindset. This is the type of story that sticks with you and leaves you introspective about what you can do to change the course of history....

Poignant, relevant, and powerful exploration of the trans experience today and how it mirrors 1930s Germany. The themes of identity, freedom and empathy strongly resonate in today's political environment fraught with prejudice and discrimination....

An ambitious, deeply-felt haunting ride. Big props to these thoughtful artists for tackling the genuinely life-threatening predicament of the trans community. In a brief comment after the performance the playwright/lead actor passed along that she felt she must make this play because she had something she had to say. And the audience really felt the importance of her commitment and expression. I'm grateful for her, her team and for getting to experience this show....

Two women meet on a train. Can their differences be reconciled, or is perspective too hard a strain?
GHOST TRAIN is a cautionary tale of the tragedies of history and a graceful exploration of cognitive dissonance in action. The leads performed with true compassion, dealing with subject matter that’s both topical and echoes back through time.
The immersive theatre created by our train conductor (and bartender) elevated the whole show for me further into its own curious world, making me feel like a child in a strange, wondrous, and haunting museum. I loved feeling like I was part of it—and truly, we all are....
