We love a theatre ghost, but what about THE Theatre Ghost - The Phantom of the Opera! We are joined by the author of Our Strange Duet, Erin A. Craig to discuss her adaptation of the stage play, how Phantom transformed her into a theatre kid, and her own spooky experiences backstage as a professional stage manager!

After getting her B.F.A. from the University of Michigan, in Theatre Design and Production, she stage managed tragic operas with hunchbacks, séances, and murderous clowns, then decided she wanted to write books that were just as spooky.
