The Story

Students call the theatre's unseen prankster Banquo. Lights are said to switch on with the control board off, and other equipment behaves unexpectedly. A seat in the gallery is traditionally reserved for the ghost, associated in one account with an elderly member of the farming family whose barns became the theatre.
