MCT Presents Ghost Light Theater
MCT is happily dealing with the sadness of not being able to present live performances by creating digital productions under the banner of MCT Presents Ghost Light Theater. In the theater, a “ghost light” is a light, often a single bulb on a stand, that illuminates the stage when the theater is dark, i.e., when no production is being presented. It can be simply between performances or when there is a more extended absence of productions. We thought it fitting for this time.
We have no set schedule, although we have been posting a new entry every week, usually toward the end of each week. You can see all of the GLT productions HERE or on our YouTube channel, @MCTSHOWS! Feel free to subscribe to our channel or to the Ghost Light Theater Playlist on our channel. We hope you will enjoy the growingly diverse potpourri of work we are creating, and welcome requests and suggestions.
MCT’s Ghost Light Theater Presents A Tribute to Sadako Sasaki
In commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, MCT’s Ghost Light Theater presents A Tribute to Sadako Sasaki. Sadako Sasaki survived the bomb at age 2, only to succumb to radiation-related leukemia at age 12. She is known throughout Japan, and now you will know her, too.
