"In theatre we have a tradition; whenever the theatre is empty we are always sure to leave one light on. Typically on a stand in the center of the stage, this light is known as the ghost light. There are many stories about its origin, but it’s meaning is unmistakable. Though the theatre is empty, WE WILL RETURN. Until then- here’s a ghost light- to let the world know we will be back." Dalen O'Connell, March 16 2020.
Hosted by Pacific Theatre's founding artistic director Ron Reed, Soul Food is a all about theatre and its artists, and beyond: movies, stories, history, art, poetry, podcasts, Premier League Football, and whatever else is on the minds of our community of artists and art-lovers. Courage!
