White Heron Radio Theatre's Ghost Light Series

There’s a particular quiet that settles over an empty theatre, but it’s never truly dark. A single bulb on a stand, known as a ghost light, is left burning to ward off shadows until the next performance. White Heron Radio Theatre's Ghost Light Series carries that tradition into sound, offering original audio dramas created by Mark Shanahan and Blue Baillett. This podcast serves as that steady, imaginative light for listeners, especially crafted for the Nantucket community but resonant for anyone who loves the art of storytelling. Each episode is a fully-produced radio play, an intimate performance that unfolds directly in your mind’s eye, blending the timeless appeal of classic theatre with the intimate reach of modern audio. You’ll hear compelling narratives brought to life by voice, music, and meticulous sound design, all born from the creative spirit of Nantucket's White Heron Theatre. It’s for those moments when the stage is temporarily quiet, but the need for a great story remains. Tune in to find a series that doesn’t just tell stories, but builds entire worlds through sound, keeping the curtain up on imagination until the next live applause.
