In the Green, which was commissioned and produced by Lincoln Center Theater/LCT3, tells the origin story of one of Medieval history's most powerful and creative women: Hildegard von Bingen. Before she became a healer, a composer, an exorcist, and finally a saint, she was a little girl locked in a cell with her mentor, Jutta. The cast features Rachael Duddy, Ashley Pérez Flanagan, Grace McLean, Mia Pak, and Hannah Whitney.

When In the Green opened at Lincoln Center Theater's Claire Tow Theater in the summer of 2019, The New York Times praised its "bold musical experimentation... generated by an ace team." It was hailed as "a propulsive, haunting burst of musical-theater energy" by New York Magazine. According to Time Out New York, "the music is heavenly: a dazzling combination of folk, funk and pop."

In addition to being developed through a series of workshops at LCT, In the Green also participated in The Finger Lakes Musical Theatre Festival's new works program "The PiTCH" in 2018.

In the Green is now available for licensing through and published by Dramatists Play Service Inc.

Ghostlight previously collaborated with McLean on The Liz Swados Project and the original cast recordings of Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812 and Alice by Heart.
