Upcoming for Phantom Lamp Theatre Company

Our inaugural season kicks off in February 2026! Phantom Lamp has been selected for a residency at Lamplight AVL. We will host some workshops and will produce our first show, Close Quarters. In November 2026, we’ll produce our second show, Sex Play.

CLOSE QUARTERS

Picture, if you will, a typical scene of American domesticity: a cozy apartment, a loving couple, and the wall-to-wall ghosts who haunt their every move. You, the audience, will play the role of the many ghosts who fill the apartment of the unfortunate couple. You’ll watch them live, love, and attempt to build a life around the towering impediment that is you. Your hosts will be two fellow members of the dearly departed. Will you aid in their efforts to rid the apartment of the living residents? Will you defy them in defense of the living? And most importantly, will you survive the exorcisms?

Performances February 20-March 1, 2026 (more info and ticketing link coming soon)

SEX PLAY

Next in our 2026 season is Sex Play, structured after Arthur Schnitzler’s La Ronde. This collaborative new work will follow characters as they move from rendezvous to rendezvous with a decidedly modern bent. Phantom Lamp explores the modern sexual landscape and takes a long, ahem, hard look at how some folks play.
