History
New Candlelight Theatre is located in historic Ardentown, DE. In 2006, New Candlelight Productions, a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) organization was formed to produce theatrical productions. In 2007, NCT established a Season Subscription base and received 2 Barrymore nominations in their first year of eligibility for its production of Chicago. In 2009, the theatre celebrated 40 Years of Dinner Theater! During this anniversary year, 13,000 patrons attended our Main Stage Productions and Specialty Events In the Fall of 2010, the Millers turned over management of the facility including the food operation to the non-profit. 2011 kicked off with a great start for NCT! CATS, our season opener got rave reviews and record audiences! Thanks to our dedicated staff, our hard working volunteers and our loyal patrons we will keep Candlelight glowing
