About Ghostlight:
It is a standing practice in the theatre that a ghostlight � a floor lamp holding a single bare light bulb � be lit on stage after everyone has left for the night, so that the theatre never goes dark. In the same spirit, Ghostlight Records, created by Sh-K-Boom co-founders Kurt Deutsch & Sherie Rene Scott, ensures that music of the theatre by composers old and new will always be enjoyed.
