“Animal Wisdom.”
If you are not well versed with some of theatre’s backstage traditions and superstitions, you may be unfamiliar with the concept of the “ghost light.” It is a light that is kept on at all times in a theatre, even when the theater is empty or not being used. It is usually a bare bulb at the center of the stage stark, but effective. Some say that its purpose is based in practicality and that the electric light allows people not to trip and injure themselves. When it was a gas light, it was to prevent the buildup of gas. While both of these explanations are plausible, most theatre people know that’s only the surface of meaning these lights provide.

This belief gets at the heart of “Animal Wisdom,” the first musical presented by dynamic and system-disrupting Woolly Mammoth Theatre Comp
