If you haven't been to this hidden theatre, well buy yourself a ticket. I've been here about 5 times and every show is fabulous! Disaster. The Musical was really funny. Great seating. Beer, wine, water and soda available!

It is difficult not to adore this place. Where you have a passion for historic architectural design, rustic decor, theatre, entertainment or the arts, Woolfe Street is a must. With a vast lobby, large and small theatre way in the back, the space is overwhelming. I first encountered this venue at a Great Gatsby themed event. A memorable night indeed. This also leads to a little tidbit of information: You can rent out the venue. Last week alone, a rock band rented it out. Brilliant. Home to some of the most fun and even radical performance in Charleston, Woolfe Street has done Rock of Ages, Santaland Diaries and will be doing a high school production of Rent next month. I cannot say enough about the generosity and caring nature of Keely who operates the company and venue. Her pursuit of the arts in Charleston is remarkable. This is truly a must see. Soak in the design and decor. It is a fun place to see (even if there is not a performance at the moment).,

I love going to a play. Last night was my first time to go to the Woolfe Street Playhouse. We went to see the play - The Effect. The WSP is a very cool place. The location was very convenient and easy to find. Parking was right across the street. Tickets were about normal price for a play - $32.50 per person. The playhouse was nice and I really liked the way it looked with a very laid back atmosphere. Everyone was friendly. You can purchase beer or wine. It was very clean and nice and very casual for wearing jeans so I felt very comfortable. The play was okay. Not the best story line I have seen but the acting was fantastic. I enjoyed watching the actors do their lines. They were so good! They were the best part of the night - watching them. They were really that good. It was a great night all around. I look forward to going back. We had such a nice night out. Thank you so much!

See all

“The place has a fun/quirky setup as an old western saloon and there didn't seem to be a bad seat there--very intimate theater.”

At a first glance The Schoolhouse appears to be an unassuming business space with rented out…read moreoffices. Once within you see it's not just local vendors but a healing space featuring wellness studios, esthetician services, and meeting places where folks gather for events from yoga to presentations. There's a water refill station inside and a great restroom with sinks available indoor and out of the actual restroom. I noticed some meeting places as well with transparent walls good for community gatherings. Some notable places I've seen are The Sanctuary, DandiLion wax studio, and the Charleston Wellness Studio. Upon reading another Yelp review I loved they offer a venue space as well which would be great for showers or weddings perhaps! Something to look into. Another wonderful addition to the Schoolhouse is the picturesque garden next door. Enjoyed the flowers and greenery before embarking on my next task. Very peaceful space.

The Schoolhouse is a fairly new event center, I believe it has been about a year? More or less,…read morecould be wrong. At any rate, we were looking for a spot to hold our mom's 70th birthday surprise party. We were struggling with finding availability on a Saturday afternoon - church reception halls were booked, other venues were booked, and then other venues just wanted to charge too much for a birthday party (charging us Charleston wedding prices!!). The Schoolhouse actually did not come up in our search, but was recommended to my sister. My sister immediately contacted the Schoolhouse to check availability. They have a couple different rooms that are rentable, depending on size. We didn't need anything too big, so we were able to rent out the Music Room. Small room good for 30-40 people. They supply the chairs/tables with the rental. On the day of, Heather was there to meet us, and gave me her number in case we had any questions. I will say, the only issue was that there was another group that had a function going on in the next room and they had come in and taken one of our tables. So we had to take it back! Not a big issue, since Heather took charge, but it just seems like people don't understand that multiple events can go on. That is the biggest issue that I see with this space, is that people don't understand that multiple events can go on. Obviously, if you are the one renting it, then you know it, but your guests do not. So as we were setting up, we had the doors open so that we could bring stuff in from the cars. Well there were some random people that just walked into and through our room. Do you not see us setting up? Then eventually two people came in and were on the floor giving massages (what in the world??) - not sure if they were tenants or from the other party. Again, do you not see us setting up? We told them we had this space reserved, and they were willing to leave. Then I guess the party next door did not bring enough supplies, coming in and asking us for cups. No, we bought these for our party. I wouldn't say this is a fault to the event center, but a fault to guests/other people renting, to give other people common courtesy. We did end up closing all doors once we got everything inside from all of the cars, and had no other issues. My only suggestion would be to maybe have signs in place by the rental facility showing that "this room is privately reserved today, please do not enter". During the actual party with the room filled, it did get very warm. It was at least a cool night so that we opened the door to the outside to let cool air in. I'm not sure if we knew how to adjust the temperature or if we could adjust it, but that was our means of just letting the building be and letting cool air in. Also, there is ample parking in front and in back of the building. So your guests do not have to worry about having to park and walk or to pay for parking. Overall, I would definitely recommend this space for a party - reasonably priced, with a great setup on how much space you actually need.

RUDE RUDE RUDE!!!!! Never again!!! I rented this space for…read moremy wedding on 10/23/2021. The outside was less than presentable. But was taken care of by the owner the day before my event. According to the signed agreement We had the space from 3 pm- 12 Midnight. Right before 9:30 the owner came in and started cleaning up around us while my guests were still at their tables. When questioned about it, she simply stated she was "just trying to help". She was rude!!! This made my guests and myself uncomfortable as it felt like we were being pushed out the door prematurely. SHE NEVER STOPPED!!!! She said that we had until 11 pm which was really MIDNIGHT!! Most of my guests ended up leaving by 10:30. The rest of us left by 11pm. She never stopped breathing down our necks. VERY UNCOMFORTABLE!!! Please, do better with the next people that rent from you!!!

This is an event space connected to Andolini's. The night we went was a Kiwanis Club of Charleston…read morefunction and was very well done. The servers kept the pizza buffet full and plenty of deserts. I would not say a fancy place but it really was very functional for what we needed. A small bar when we walked in for drinks and a table for our check in. Then you walk into a pretty large room. We had around 50 people which the room held perfectly. So groups up to around 75 would probably be able to use this for a meeting or dinner. I thought the pizza was pretty darn good as well.
