The Embassy’s stage manager — and its reputed ghost

  • Stage manager, 1936–1965
  • Lived at the Embassy Theatre, 125 W. Jefferson

On the record

The man is documented: stage manager of the Embassy from 1936 until his death in 1965, and resident at the theatre, per the Embassy’s executive director.

The ghost is unproven: folding seats during organ practice and dream-warnings before burst pipes are staff anecdotes retailed from the 1970s onward, and the theatre “will neither confirm nor deny.” Watch the decay in retelling — one listicle moves his death to “the 1950s” and renames him “Bud Burger.” Taken up in “The Embassy Theatre's ghost is stage manager Bud Berger.”.
