A reveal party for the first season of Benton Harbor’s new GhostLight Theater will be held this Sunday. GhostLight Executive Director Martha Hesse told WSJM News Thursday they’ve got big plans for 2019, and all will be announced to donors at Sunday’s shindig.

“We will reveal the four, possibly five, productions that we will be doing,” Hesse said. “I’m on my way to a meeting shortly to determine the fifth one, and we also have a Broadway celebrity who is coming to Benton Harbor to open our theater in June.”

Hesse says the renovations at the theater at a former industrial building on Hinkley Street are ahead of schedule thanks to donors.

“It has certainly taught us there is community support and involvement, and people are enthusiastic, even more than we had anticipated,” Hesse said.

Hesse wouldn’t give us clues about the Broadway celebrity who will be on hand for June’s grand opening, but did say we probably have heard of that person. All will be revealed on Sunday.
