E1 Fire Code Schmire Code and An Olive with a Pit of Mercury

Welcome to the inaugural episode of “Leave the Ghost Light On”! In this episode, we banter at the beginning with our backstories and histories. Then Danica takes us to Chicago to retell the tale of the worst Theater Tragedy in history. We then side step over to Jill who tells us about the oldest theater on Broadway and its most famous leading lady drama queen, who is a ghost.  Come with us as we visit The Iroquois Theater and The New Amsterdam!
