The Candlelight Theatre

“Keeping Live Theatre…Alive!”

Delaware's best kept secret for a night of entertainment is The Candlelight Theatre. Located in historic Ardentown, DE, Candlelight provides an all-inclusive evening of dinner and professional theatre in an intimate atmosphere, all for a reasonable price. Operating as a theater venue for over 75 years, the stage of this quaint barn comes alive every weekend year round and entertains thousands of theater-goers through the course of the year. While musicals are  Candlelight’s specialty, other special events such as a monthly Comedy Night, are also available offering patrons various opportunities to experience live theatre.

The mission of The Candlelight Theatre is to continue the tradition of employing and educating artists by encouraging them to explore and hone their craft through the art of live theatre. Through the unique interaction of these artists with our audiences, we share a commitment to revitalize, inspire, and enrich the community we serve.
