One bulb has burned on an empty stage for forty-seven years. The power was cut off in 1979.
Maggie Whitlock has spent eight years in the dark, making other people shine. She's a stage electrician, a born fixer, and a woman who hasn't stood in a spotlight since the night she froze in front of everyone who mattered. So naturally, after the worst week of her life, she buys a dead vaudeville theater in Providence for one dollar.
The Halloway comes with fourteen hundred torn velvet seats, a hole in the roof, a ghost light that runs on nothing at all, and a stage manager in shirtsleeves and braces who has kept that light burning since the night he died in 1931.
Teddy Marchetti hasn't spoken to a living soul in ninety-five years. Then Maggie signs the theater's old company sheet as a joke, and her name won't come off. Now every night at half past eleven, the dead come back to finish their last show. And they've written her into it.
