Program Description

Event Description

Each night after the applause dies, the curtain falls, the audience vanishes, the cleaners dust, and the lights are killed, great theatres become dark and silent places. But not always quite empty.

That's when the theatre ghosts make their entrance and strut and fret their hour upon the shadowed boards, illuminated only by the ghost light, the solitary lamp that is required to burn through the night on every Broadway stage.

Many of Broadway's busiest theatres continue to be just as busily haunted by spirits, some with well-known names and histories.

Come and hear the haunting ghost stories of Broadway with author Robert Viagas.
