Many theatres still leave a single bare bulb burning onstage overnight, called a ghost light. Practically, it keeps people from tripping in the dark—but tradition says it also keeps theatre spirits happy and gives them their own time in the spotlight.

Theatre Etiquette Tip (with a wink) 😉

We love a glowing review. We do not love a glowing phone screen.

On this day in theatre history 🎶

In May 1919, the musical La, La, Lucille opened in New York with George Gershwin’s first full Broadway score. The New York Times called it “the incarnation of jazz,” and it helped launch one of American music’s most influential careers.
