The new Columbia County PAC is a beautiful state of the art live theatre venue. I have attended four shows so far, all musicals; Anastasia, Jesus Christ Superstar, RENT, and The Book of Mormon and all were wonderful and professionally staged. The theatre brings in non-Equity National Tours and the people of Augusta area should be thankful.
I have been to Broadway many times and have seen, maybe, two dozen shows. While I understand that Actor's Equity Union productions may have more seasoned professional performers, stage managers, and crew, these non-Equity cast members are extremely talented and have abounding enthusiasm. The stage managers and crew do a good job running the shows also. These National Tour productions are professional and well staged, have great music, interesting sets & projections, and well designed/executed lighting. My theatre going friend and I were very pleased and greatly enjoyed ourselves at the four production we have seen there. You will be too.
If you can't get to Broadway to see a show, I recommend seeing one at the Columbia County PAC. read more
