COVID UPDATE:
I'm sorry to inform everyone that the rest of the 2020/2021 season is being POSTPONED to a later date. We will miss our members and can't wait for our comeback! We will not let this time go to waste! Stay safe and stay tuned! Here is what happened: We had gotten some guidance from the NY Covid hotline regarding Low Risk Indoor Arts and Entertainment and protocols for operating a haunted house. We had talked to several people--who couldn't have been nicer--and we were under the impression that if we used masks, had less than 50 people, followed social distancing and had plenty of hand sanitizer on hand, that we could proceed. It was indeed unsettling to find out that that was not the case. It is a confusing time for everyone and the North Tonawanda and county people have been very helpful and sympathetic to our dilemma. When we get a definite go-ahead, it is our intention to present our season. Thank you for your understanding.
Subscribers:
THIS IS NOT A CANCELATION!
Hang on to your tickets! We will present the entire season when we are allowed to!
If you have any questions please email us

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!
