Description

This theater is housed on the restored site of the first building designed for theatrical performances in the United States. In reverence to this rich heritage, the city of Charleston purchased the adjacent hotel and set about restoring the theatre to its original glory; in 1937 it re-opened to accolades. Today it is home to the Charleston Stage Company, which produces and performs plays and musicals. The theatre plays host to hundreds of concerts and events each year as well. Admission varies, but generally ranges from USD12-USD25.
