	Investigation of the Anson Ghost Light
		Anson is still a center for the local cotton industry, but its main claim to fame is the Cowboys’ Christmas Ball, described in an 1890 poem by William Lawrence "Larry" Chittenden and recently re-awakened by the involvement of country-folk singer Michael Martin Murphey, who did a Christmas show there in 1995.
		Ghost hunters frequent Anson in search of the “Lights of Anson”, a phenomenon that appears at the Mt. Hope Cemetery and is featured in the book Ghosts in the Graveyard by Olyve Hallmark Abbot and in Texas Monthly.
		This creates a blind spot that exists until you have climbed the hill, but by then the road as veered just enough to the northwest that the light is obscured by the vegetation on the other side of HWY 180, unless you drive down into the ditch on the left side of the road.

		Sure, he won the 1999 Lucille Lortel award for Outstanding Director, but Derek Anson Jones, the person most responsible for getting Wit onto the New York stage, hasn't received much attention—well, compared to playwright Margaret Edson, who was given the Pulitzer, and Kathleen Chalfant, who swept up five major acting awards.
		In 1996, when Jones was assistant-directing Henry V in Central Park, he decided star Kathleen Chalfant would be perfect as Vivian Bearing, and he gave her the play.
		Jones calls it "an examination of the racial and sexual dynamics of that world"—in 40 scenes.
