A late-night disc jockey spins records and stories, broadcasting from a pirate radio station somewhere off the coast of British Columbia. Hosted by Ron Reed, the founder and Artistic Director Emeritus of Pacific Theatre. ”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
