A huge thank you to everyone who came out to support our first ever Chicken BBQ Drive Thru. It was a big success and will help to keep the Ghostlight Burning through this difficult time.
Thank you to all the people who help make this event successful, our kitchen staff, runners, and anyone else who helped out.
And a special Thank You to
Lottie and Bernice
for keeping our crowds in line and also to
Santa
taking time out of his busy schedule to help support the Ghostlight!
If you didn't get a chance to come to the Chicken BBQ
but still want to make a donation to keep us running,
consider purchasing one of our
One of a Kind T-Shirts.
See below for more info!
DONATE TO THE GHOSTLIGHT AND GET THIS ONE OF A KIND T-SHIRT
Available in
Short and Long
Sleeve
We know times are tough for everyone and we have been asking a lot from our Members. But until we can open our doors and put bodies in the seats, we need to keep paying our bills. So please consider making a donation today.
It would be devastating if we weren't ever able to open our doors again.
Click on the image above and visit our Webstore. Click on the Short Sleeve and/or Long Sleeve options (you can order from both in one transaction). Select the style and sizes you want and place your order. We will then notify you when your T-Shirt(s) have arrived and when you can pick it up from the Theatre.

All Through The Night
The Christmas Rose
By L. Don Swartz. A world premiere production. A plane crashes in a remote section of the Smoky Mountains, three days before Christmas.

HELP
Our home needs your help! We're in need of repairs to keep our home in good shape. The ticket sales and snack bar contributions help us with our day to day operations and purchasing set pieces and set supplies. But our home is getting older and is in need of repairs. We are asking you to please consider a contribution to our Restoration Fund to keep our theatre looking as good as she did when she was built a 129 years ago. Currently besides the Go Fund Me page our 50/50 take is all we are receiving to help with our restoration. Please consider donating anything you can, every dollar helps.
Thank you for your continuing support of the Ghostlight Theatre!
