Beautiful theatre! Seats are in the round, so it's a very unique feeling for live theatre…read more Bathrooms on the second floor, entrance to seating on the third floor. There is an elevator and a small section of handicap accessible seating.

I finally got a chance to see the play "Raisin In The Sun" at USC college. The play was approx…read more2.5hrs long. Longstreet theatre is a small intimate venue, seating goes around the room. All the seats are actually good, but next time I will go early for a better seat choice. I actually liked the theater, even though its been neglected for many years. The outside of building is in great shape. The bathrooms are on the second floor, theater on third floor. Elevators are old and slow, we decided to use the stairs instead. No concessions, so eat before you attend. They are taking donations for the upgrade of the seats, I will post pics. The play was excellent, all the actors did such a wonderful job! I will watch the website for future plays. My daughter attended medical school at USC for 6yrs, so I have first hand experience on what the school charges for fees. Im really disappointed that the school has failed the up keep of this historic building. Im not accepting any excuses, its actually shameful. The Arts dept, staff and students deserve better than this. If you want the real history of the theatre, read the truth. I wasn't surprised at all. https://sc.edu/about/our_history/university_history/presidential_commission/commission_reports/final_report/appendices/appendix-11/recommended-for-removal/longstreet_theatre.php

This was my first live show in many years, tickets were $35 per adult. There are concessions w pricey beer/wine choices, free popcorn. The theatre is somewhat small for seating, in front of all seats is a long wood plank for placing objects or feet. For musical we saw the actors had to pretend to be in car without any props, it kind of pulled me out of the immersion. The limits or lack of budget for these minor cosmetics may have increased my vision of story being told. Quaint theatre to watch amateur performers.

On a recent visit to Columbia, we had the fantastic experience of watching Town Theatre's…read moreproduction of the Wizard of Oz. My youngest daughter has an interest in theater and I wanted to give her an experience that would encourage and inspire her to continue to express herself through acting. While I'm originally from Lexington, I now live in Honolulu, Hawaii. So I did some research online and saw that there was to be a performance while we were in town. I jumped at the opportunity and purchased tickets for us. The prices were very reasonable and we were able to get seats near the front/close to the stage - but not uncomfortably close. The theater itself was very well maintained, especially since it's a older/historic building. The staff were very pleasant and welcoming. They even offered to print our tickets since we had no way of doing so. Also, the need to print tickets never occurred to me as I've converted to having most things in digital format in my day to day life. We were guided to our seats and given a thorough theater layout (pointing out restroom locations, exits, etc.) The highlight of the evening, of course, was the performance. We were both impressed with how incredibly talented the performers were at this community theater. I would love to visit again next time we're in town and if I were to live in the Columbia area, I am confident that my family and I would have season tickets.

Last night I was lucky enough to catch a FREE show by the South Carolina Shakespeare Company of…read more"Pride and Prejudice" at Finlay Park! It was directed by Linda Khoury and starred several talented actors and actresses, many USC theater graduates. JoAnna Criswell and Christine Von Schultzendorff were the dialect coaches who made everyone sound authentic and true to that time. Katie Mixon did an outstanding job playing the part of Elizabeth Bennet, she was in just about every scene and stayed in character throughout the entire 2+ hour performance, it was amazing. Ruth Glowacki was hilarious as Mrs. Bennett, she dominated every scene that she was in and almost always had the audience in fits of laughter. However George Spelvin stole the entire show as Mr. Collins, he was vile and slithering, and totally believable as someone you'd want to run far away from and be repulsed by! His command of every scene was AWESOME. As the performance was outdoors the actors and production staff were vulnerable to things out of their control. A few times ambulance cars drove by creating a raucous, a handful of times the wind picked up and props on the stage fell, despite these distractions the actors did not miss a beat, and kept the play going. The costumes and stage design were terrific, and the setting at the park was beautiful. I can't believe they do these performances for free, the quality of the show was excellent, and anyone passing by would never know that they did not charge a penny! They have a couple more plays coming up, "I Hate Hamlet" will show for two weekends in February and "A Servant of Two Masters" will be held for two weekends in April. If you can catch a show with this Company, I highly recommend it!
