I have seen plays, musical performances and star acts at the Dock Street and would pick it as a venue over all others. It's absolutely beautiful.

Hailing from NY, I have attended Broadway shows at many of NYC's historic theaters. Now that I am a Charleston resident, however, I have to say that I prefer the Dock Street Theater to all of them. It is gorgeous inside and out, and the perfect place to watch a play, musical, or concert (especially the Spoleto Chamber Music series).... More

Seating less the 500 people gives you an intimate setting for whatever you are there for. Leave the binoculars at home, you won't need them. Concerts, plays etc., no movies at this theater.

try it you will like it best this side of any Canyon Ranch Facilities

We enjoyed teh Wiz here last week - the production was very well done! The recently completed renovation was worth the money spent. Balcony seats are the best!

We enjoyed the production, the seats are a bit close to one another but sight lines were good and only once or twice did I miss a line soundwise. A great experience and we ll be back.

This is a good venue for Charleston Stage, for which we buy season tickets. I preferred the Sotille because it's more modern and the seats are more comfortable, but the Dock Street is a classic. Sometime the AC makes it too cold, so take a sweater.
