OUR MISSION
The GhostLight Theatre is an innovative Southwest Michigan playhouse with a diverse, creative, and socially conscious culture, embodied by engaging and passionate performers. We provide storytelling education to audiences and performers of all ages and backgrounds to enlighten, inspire, and illuminate Benton Harbor and the surrounding region.
OUR PASSION
We are passionate about the larger role The GhostLight Theatre plays in the Benton Harbor Arts District as a center for collaboration in all areas of the performing arts. More than entertainment, we strive for excellence in every aspect of our operation with the guiding belief that theatre has the power to transform the lives of people of all ages.
OUR DREAM
To witness the impact and the lasting change that can result when a community comes together to play, learn, and grow.
OUR COMMUNITY
The Benton Harbor Arts District is a hidden jewel in Berrien County. Home to delicious restaurants, lively brewpubs, and inspiring art galleries, this special corner of town is ablaze with creative energy that both residents and tourists adore. The GhostLight Theatre is proud and lucky to be located in this amazing home area.
OUR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We collectively acknowledge that The GhostLight Theatre occupies the ancestral, traditional, and contemporary Lands of the Anishinaabek – Three Fires Confederacy of Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi peoples. We recognize, support, and advocate for the sovereignty of Michigan’s twelve federally-recognized Indian nations, for historic Indigenous communities in Michigan, for Indigenous individuals and communities who live here now, and for those who were forcibly removed from their Homelands. By offering this Land Acknowledgement, we affirm Indigenous sovereignty and will work to hold The GhostLight Theatre more accountable to the needs of American Indian and Indigenous peoples. We are committed to bringing Native American voices to the forefront. As part of an ongoing effort to celebrate and tell the histories and contemporary experiences of Native American people, we also recognize the Native American presence on the land where our building is located.
