Dock Street Theatre maintains its original 1800’s charm but has been updated with state-of-the-art soundproofing and lighting. Don’t miss a show by the Charleston Stage theater company.

The courtyard is beautiful. Enjoy the moonlight during intermissions . Charleston Stage Co. do an amazing job putting on high quality productions!!

Justin Martin

Oldest theatre in America in the French quarter of Charleston. Beautiful & historic it’s like traveling back in time. The interior still holds up and is a great place to catch live performances .

Gorgeous old theater with a lovely little courtyard in the back for intimate gatherings.

The Seat of Justice was a top shelf production… important story… professional cast and better than Broadway venue + chance to chat with writer, designer, director Julian Wiles.

Susan Burroughs

This is a great theatre that is full of history. It is a must see whenever you are in the Lowcountry.

One of the oldest buildings in Charleston and still the one with the most happening. If you're in town between April 15 - May 1 2011 make sure to watch the Original Peter Pan performance !

While the theater accepts major credit cards - you will need cash for the bar at intermission .

Seats EE 10, 11, 12 are absolutely horrible, in a packed house. Ask for your money back and share with them how excellent your poor view was.

Considering the history, i think this museum could have been more engaging. That said, entry is relatively cheap so worth it to get a quick overview of the role Charleston played during slavery. - Corley Stone
