With little fanfare or notice, a new theater company, Ghost Light Theatricals, has moved into the small space on Market Street formerly occupied by Live Girls! Theater.

Ghost Light Theatricals, a nonprofit organization founded in 2003, moved into the 64-seat theater in the lower level of 2200 N.W. Market St. in early January. On March 2, a notice for a liquor license was posted in the window.

The company moved into the Ballard location because they wanted to have their own space after being nomadic for the past seven years, said Matt Lyman, Ghost Light Theatricals' marketing director.

Artistic Director Beth Raas said the permanent home will give the company more opportunities than it had while it was moving around.

Live Girls! Theater vacated the space at the end of December when its lease was up and Ghost Light was able to take it over, Lyman said.

Lyman said the company is hoping to bring great theater to Ballard and its residents.

"It's important in a neighborhood that has as much nightlife as Ballard does to have a theater there," Raas said.

According to its Web site, Ghost Light Theatricals focuses on classical and classically-influenced plays.

Since 2003, the company has performed 23 plays in six different theaters in Seattle.

Ghost Light Theatricals will be putting on Anton Chekov's "The Three Sisters" April 2 to April 18.
