New Hope, PA: Ghost Light and Anastasia the Musical

Dear Commons Community,

Elaine and I had a fine day in New Hope yesterday.  We are staying at the Ghost Light Inn.

For those of us who do not know what a ghost light is, it is a light left on in a theater when it’s empty, usually on the stage. It’s a safety measure to help people avoid hazards like the edge of the stage, bumps, and working equipment.  Ghost lights are also said to have a spiritual meaning, with some believing they ward away evil spirits or light the way for ghosts that inhabit the theater. In any case, the Ghost Light Inn is proving to be an fine accommodation right in the middle of New Hope.

The highlight of our day was seeing the musical, Anastasia, at the Bucks County Playhouse. It is an excellent fast-paced production with marvelous acting, singing and dancing.  A wonderful two and a half hours of entertainment.

We finished our day at dinner at the Black Bass Hotel and Restaurant just outside of New Hope.

Tony
