Holly Frey believes the concept of live theater is inherently ghostly because it involves reviving old texts and creating ephemeral, unique moments.

“Theater is a ghostly experience if you think about it. It's concerned with the unearthing of texts that in the case of the Greek tragedies might be 2,000 years old. And an experience that comes back night after night, but which also disappears in front of your eyes as it does.”

Tracy Wilson finds the idea of live theater as a ghostly experience delightful.

“I love that take. Um that's what makes live theater so great, right? It's you're the only people experiencing that moment in history together, which I love.”
