What is a "Ghost Light"?

Our name pays tribute to an ages-old theatre tradition of keeping a single electric light on when the theatre is empty. There are various takes on this superstition, with many believing that a ghost light is there to stand vigil over the unoccupied theatre and ward spirits away, and others believing that the light is there to keep spirits company (and give them a safe space to test out their acting chops). Practically, it ensures a safe return for the first technician opening in the morning.
