Ghosts are in the eye of the beholder. We each have our own ghosts.

When I walk into the quiet library where I did my high school homework, I sense the ghost of my youth. When I drive onto the Sony lot in Culver City that used to be MGM, I see the soundstage from my first gig. When I rehearse for my Broadway musical, Allegiance, inspired by my family’s internment in prison camps during World War II, I hear the ghosts of my family, childhood friends and soldiers.
