The setting is a lighthouse on a barren rock with cramped quarters for a new keeper, his younger society wife expecting trees and a beach, and his assistant from a wealthy family. The atmosphere is the eerie sounds of wind and crashing waves against thin walls, fog drifting in from every crack and the heart-stopping creaking sounds of the equipment needed to keep the light running and the equipment operating. And there are spirits – of every kind – while the seagulls screech. This story includes black crows, a floating scarf, murder, a haunting organ, flirtations and ghosts...or are they?
The Ghost Island Light is another must see play written by Canadian playwright Peter Colley and will be added to his repertoire of award-winning plays that have been performed around the world. This is the fourth performed at Brighton Barn Theatre.

What's Happening
News
Brighton Barn Theatre lost its long time President on May 2nd after a lengthy illness. Art Middleton, or J Arthur as he always liked to be listed in our programs, had been President for as long as most of us can remember.
For almost 20 years, in addition to his presidential duties, Art also produced plays, was our Technical Director, set designer, lighting designer and operator. We have always been blessed that Art and his construction team had our sets "ready to go" so that our casts could rehearse on them as quickly as possible.
Art was truly committed to our Brighton Barn Theatre, having moved from Cobourg to Brighton, just five minutes away from the theatre, when he became President.
Despite his illness, Art last designed the set and lighting for Norm Foster's "Jenny's House of Joy" which ran April - May this 2025 season and was a tremendous success.
His talents and dedication will surely be missed.
