Benton Harbor’s GhostLight Theatre opens fifth season with Tracy Letts' ‘The Minutes’

‘The Minutes’ opens fifth season at Benton Harbor’s GhostLight

Written by Tracy Letts, the new comedy is about small-town politics and real-world power that exposes the ugliness behind some of the nation's closely-held American narratives while asking audience members what they would do to keep from becoming history’s losers.

“We are at a moment in America where it feels like we are being pulled apart at the seams by the dueling power of our sacred narratives,” Chicago-based director Nate Cohen says in a press release. “Can we confront our history? ('The Minutes') is brilliant because it balances two things — the horrible power of conviction unchecked by reason, and the side-splitting absurdity that is the dysfunction of local government.”

Performances are at 7:30 p.m. April 18-20 and 25-27 and at 3 p.m. April 21 and 28.

Tickets are $28-$20.
