## What is Ghost Light?

Every actor knows the night before. The audition is Thursday, you need two minutes that fit, and
you are scrolling the same forty speeches everyone else will bring into the room.

Ghost Light is built for that night.


SEARCH THE WAY YOU ACTUALLY THINK

Type "a grieving mother." Type "something funny that isn't Neil Simon." Ghost Light understands
what you mean, not just the words you typed, and surfaces stage monologues that match the feeling.
No keyword guessing. No browsing forty pages of Shakespeare to find the one speech that fits.

(Real semantic search, not word matching.)


KNOW WHAT'S OVERDONE

Every monologue carries a freshness score. Filter for hidden gems and walk in with something the
panel has not already heard four times that morning. No other monologue app tells you this.


FILTER FOR THE ROOM YOU'RE WALKING INTO

Age range and gender. Under one, two, or three minutes. Tone: comedic, dramatic, dark, defiant,
anguished, contemplative. Emotion: anger, longing, grief, fear, joy, despair, resolve.


STAGE AND SCREEN, ONE LIBRARY

19,000+ monologues from 2,100+ plays, classical and contemporary. Plus 5,000+ speeches from films and TV shows, browsable by poster, character, and length. Shakespeare and Chekhov in the same place as the screen work you actually watch.


YOUR BOOK, ALWAYS WITH YOU

Save what you love and it's there next time, on any device you sign in on. Being subscribed keeps your saved pieces readable offline, so your book still opens in the basement hallway outside the audition room where there's no signal.

YOUR WEEK, ON THE BOARD

Add an audition, attach the piece you are bringing, and Ghost Light reminds you the evening before and two hours before the call. The reminder opens straight to your monologue.


BUILT FOR ACTORS, NOT FOR SPREADSHEETS

A ghost light is the single bulb left burning on an empty stage overnight, so the theatre is never
fully dark. This app is named for it. Warm, quiet, made for reading in the dark before you go in.


FREE AND PREMIUM

Search the full catalog and read three monologues in full for free. Ghost Light Premium unlocks
unlimited reading, tone and emotion and freshness filters, offline access, and copy to clipboard.
Try it free for 7 days.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.6 — 2026-10-16

Auditions are in the app. Add the next one, attach the piece from your book, and Ghost Light reminds you the evening before and two hours before the call, with your monologue one tap away.

Also in this version: a quick way to rate the app, and small fixes.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-10-10

A new icon. Recent searches now remember whether you were in plays or film & TV, and you can clear any of them with a tap. Previews show three lines instead of two, Film & TV posters load faster, and each play gets a small sketch of its own. And a little note from me, the actor building this.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-10-10

When you reach the end of your free reads, the page now stays readable for the first two lines and the offer sits right on it, instead of a block at the bottom. Sign-in is fixed for everyone, and search works again.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-09-18

A new look, drawn like a theatre.

- The whole app is redesigned: paper sides on a dark stage, one warm light, stage directions in the margins.
- Search opens on a single question and asks it differently each time you come back.
- Results are now printed pages, with a freshness mark on every piece so you know what the panel has already heard.
- Film and TV pieces show their posters, on their own violet shelf.
- Reading is easier on the eyes in a dark hallway, and your book lists what you have kept with a clear offline mark.
- Smaller things: smoother transitions between search and results, a gentler paywall, and fewer taps to sign in.

Built by a working actor, for the night before.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-08

Your saved pieces and your free reads now stay with you properly, even if you reinstall.
  
A new app icon, drawn from the ghost light itself.
 
The lamp on the search screen is calmer, so the search field sits where your thumb expects it.

Faster, quieter loading when you open a speech: the page now shows you it is coming instead of a blank sheet.
