Ghost Light

Third Rail Projects brought their unique blend of immersive performance to LCT3 and invited audiences into the unseen corners of the Claire Tow Theater to explore the world on the other side of the proscenium.

GHOST LIGHT was a performance about performance which navigated through a series of real and dreamlike landscapes beyond the footlights, the glitter, and the greasepaint.  It was a benevolent haunting that reflected on the smoke and mirrors, superstitions, and stage magic that conjure the mystique of the theatre.

All audience members will be moving for most of the two hour performance of GHOST LIGHT, including:

• Standing
• Walking
• Climbing stairs
• Being in confined spaces
• Being separated from your party

The performance environment contains a variety of textures and, at times, uneven floor surfaces. It is strongly recommended that you wear appropriate, comfortable footwear. 

“In each room, sometimes in each corner, audience members run into ghosts that range from the playful to the macabre. A golden age diva mourns the loss of youth and fears the day when “what was luminous will be seen as a gimmick”, while the ingenue she dismisses has fantasies of her own about becoming a renowned diva. Are the ghosts unaware of the different levels of existence they occupy? In a dim hallway, a sad clown invites us to listen to a monologue being written by an invisible playwright as he delivers it, for a moment he convinces us that we too are part of this being’s imagination, and he might be right, for we too become characters in the experience of other audience members.” – Stage Buddy, Review: Ghost Light.
