To support the season, The GhostLight is hosting a cabaret fundraising event themed “It Might As Well Be Spring” on Saturday, April 1 beginning at 6pm ET. The performance features jazz soloist Emily Perkins,who returns to Southwest Michigan after several years honing her craft as a military vocalist and international freelance musician.
