sustainers program
The Ghost Light Society is for those who prefer to linger behind the scenes, sustaining the revival with monthly contributions. Like a theater’s lone light that never goes dark, these supporters may stay out of the spotlight — but they are ever-present and essential. Join the quiet force keeping the spirit of the Texas Theater alive, one month at a time.
what is a ghost light?
A ghost light is a single bare bulb left glowing on stage when the theater is dark and empty. Some say it’s for safety — to keep footsteps steady in the shadows. Others say it keeps the spirits company, or wards off mischief from the ghosts said to haunt old theaters. Either way, it’s a quiet tradition that says: someone still cares for this place. And the show will go on.
