Where is The Ghostlight located?

The Ghostlight is tucked beneath the historic Millwald Theatre in downtown Wytheville. To find us, look for the stairwell in the alley just behind the marquee. You’ll descend into a hallway lined with vintage playbills — follow the whispers and you’ll know when you’ve arrived.

Is there a sign or entrance from the main street?

No signage, no fanfare. The Ghostlight is meant to be discovered, not advertised. Entry is through the alley — just follow the light.

How do I get in?

At the end of the hallway, you’ll find a large portrait of Mary Alexander. Behind her watchful gaze is the entrance. If you’ve received the password and the light is glowing, you’re in the right place.

Is the space accessible?

Yes. While the main entrance is down a stairwell, guests requiring accessible entry can enter through the Millwald Theatre’s lobby. An elevator and staff assistance are available — just let the box office or usher know you’re joining us beneath the stage.

When is The Ghostlight open?

We open for select performances at the Millwald Theatre, offering a pre-show experience unlike any other. We also host twice-monthly Ghostlight-only evenings — mysterious, intimate affairs for those on our list. Join the [newsletter] to stay in the know.

Can I make a reservation?

We don’t take reservations. We take hints. If you’ve received an invitation, a password, or a nudge from someone who’s already found us — consider yourself lucky.

Is there a dress code?

Nothing theatrical, but let’s say… you’ll feel most at home in something you’d wear to be seen — or not seen — in the right kind of light.
