Ghost Light Theatre is a not-for-profit 80-seat black box theatre located in Bridge Street Studios, Nelson CBD. Ghost Light’s aim is to light up Nelson/Tasman performers and audiences by providing a space for bold performing arts ventures.

Ghost Light hosts shows created in Nelson, Wellington, Auckland, Christchurch and abroad and in 2018 will also produce their own in-house productions.

We want Ghost Light Theatre to become somewhere that anyone can venture without intimidation. It will be a space that embraces the community with performances that make us laugh, cry and question. We want to showcase and be a testing ground for local and national works and artists who try things a little differently - who experiment or push boundaries.

Ghost Light Theatre Ltd is a NZ Charitable Trust and was created by Laura Irish and Charles Anderson with the help of the Nelson theatre community.

Contact us if you want to put on a show, host a class or workshop, volunteer or become a sponsor.
