Surflight Theatre
201 Engleside Ave, Beach Haven, NJ 08008
(609) 492-9477
A staple of the Beach Haven community for decades, the Surflight Theatre was founded in 1950 by Joseph P. Hayes. The first season was produced in a tent, which eventually moved to an old mechanic's garage, and then to the Seaside Theatre in Beach Haven in 1987. Surflight has a steadfast commitment to preserving its history, with an extensive archive that is publicly available on its website and in the book, Joe’s Dream, about the origin story and continued legacy of the theatre.
Today, the Surflight Theatre provides high quality professional live theatre to the vacationers of Long Beach Island and the residents of Southern New Jersey. It also serves as a community resource that trains young theatre performers and technicians, with the goal of engaging, entertaining, and fostering appreciation of live theatre among adults, teens, and children.
