The ghost light is part of a long-held theatrical tradition. When a theater is unoccupied, a single light—known as the ghost light—is left burning on stage to ensure the theater is never completely dark and to light the way for a safe return to the stage. This is an apt metaphor for our campaign. Contributions to the Ghost Light Recovery Fund light the way back to our stage and help us continue our mission to bring world-class performing arts experiences to Northwest Arkansas.
