The projectionist

The projectionist is the Egyptian Theatre's working ghost — reported in the booth and glimpsed in the balcony, attributed to 'Joe,' a figure from the theater's early decades. The lore concentrates where a projectionist would actually haunt: the booth, the balcony rail, the last row. Egyptian Theatre's lore is cast like a company: the workers who never left and the audience that never quite emptied. Sources including 'Egyptian Theatre (Boise)' keep the claim in circulation. The lore has a face now: The projectionist.
