So enjoyed visiting and getting to tour the theatre! Looking forward to you guys starting up production again and we made a donation online and will be watching Christmas Carol at home!!

I really like the Dock Street Theatre on Church Street in Charleston as a performance venue. You can feel the history and all of the centuries of performances in the building as you are inside. The building itself and architecture are very beautiful and well preserved with so many cool things to see throughout the inside like the paintings and antiques. The venue is not too large and every seat there is a good one as you can see pretty good even from the balcony. I also like all of the different rooms and courtyard of the Dock Street Theatre as there is plenty of room to move around before, during intermission, and after a performance to gather. I also really like that the building is open for free tours for all when there is not a performance. It is a good place to show people around.

Visiting from California to see our son at Ft Stewart. We took a drive to Charleston to look at some historical buildings and sites. Its worh the visit and they still do plays there but Covid has temporarily but a stop to them.

This was the first time my wife and I went to the Theatre. We saw Our Town tonight. The ensemble was phenomenal. They lady that played Emily Webb stole the show in our opinion. Definitely going to frequent the Theatre after tonights performance.

Great time at the Elf Christmas musical! FYI... Theres a bar upstairs that serves snacks and drinks (alcohol, sodas, water), as well as a cool courtyard downstairs. Really nice theater smacked into the middle of historic downtown Charleston

Great theater and venue. Small but very nice and well maintained. We came to see the Never More play here and the staff was super friendly. The ushers do an amazing job at assisting and maintaining the quality of the play experience by offering comfortable seating in the back so no one was standing or looking for their seats during the acts. Definitely would recommend and return for future events and productions.

Love this theater. Always a great time. Well done productions. Its a beautiful old(est) theater. Appreciate the building as much as the production while youre there.

Blue lace of wrought iron balconies and décor is attracting visitors attention from the outside of the theater, nicely organized little historical exhibit is an educational part of the interiors. The theater has public bathroom which is always appreciated by out-of-town tourists.

Beautiful and still such a prestigious place of art, history, and architecture!!! I operated the spotlight here for Huck Finn in the late 70s.....what an honor!!

I always have a feeling of nostalgia here. Their plays are well rehearsed and very entertaining. My kids love the balcony seats. Beautiful building.

I love the history and enchantment of this theatre set among the most beautiful churches. The Charleston Stage Co. puts on great performances here and we have really enjoyed each one we have attended. The word work and courtyard here are also beautiful sights, with or without a show!

Nice small theater. Been there for three different productions and they are always good enough. Nothing exciting but they are at least entertaining.

Free to drop in and walk around, very ornate and has an interesting history.

Ive seen many plays here and each time is better than the last! Love the history about this place in historic downtown Charleston. Of mice of men was a great play but if they ever do Young Frankenstein again I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it.

Great performance of Beauty and the Beast. Wonderful historic theatre. Not a bad seat in the house. Beautiful music and friendly staff, orchestra was flawless and the costumes were amazing.

One of the most historic theaters in America home to the Spoleto festivals chamber music and Charleston Stage, todays chamber music program was the best ever with incredible performances of Beethovens moonlight sonata and Haydens chamber music by the St. Lawrence Quartet!

Beautiful theater, wonderful acoustics, and the performance was top notch! My family had so much fun, and they made the kids show we saw (The Little Mermaid) a true kids show, and were incredibly family friendly. I would definitely go there again!

Very cool! I love the history, and how much time theyve put in keeping the place authentic. They even let us do a self guided tour. Its a fun stop.

Beautiful architecture and the play was fantastic!

Beautiful historic theater, great date night venue for locals and visitors

Nice seating for Shakespeares Comedy of Errors. Only down side was a lack of enough bathrooms.

We stopped here as part of a self-guided tour, and it was one of our favorite finds! Impressive architecture, beautiful holiday decorations, friendly workers, clean restrooms, and no cost to enter and explore the historic theater.

We love that place. So pretty. The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe was amazing.

I just visited this beautiful theater during the day and did not see a show but would have love to.

Great venue for plays and the price for the show is reasonable. Staff is super friendly and they are very children friendly

Very nice old theater we attended during Spoleto Fest

Incredible play today, Nevermore, about Edgar Allen Poe aka Eddie in the play. Wonderful acting and heart wrenching story. Amazing!!

I came here to watch Beauty in the Beast and I was very impressed with the set up in layout of this theater. No matter where youre sitting youll get a very clear view of the stage and you can hear the actors and actresses performing very well. During the halfway point of the play they had a very good selection of food and wine the employees here were friendly.

This place is a beautiful theater. The cast for Nevermore was wonderful. This place is a must on your tour through Charleston SC.

Amazing piece of excellently preserved history. Still in operation.

Love it! It was fun.

Lovely place. Has a good ghost story as well!

Saw the Flying Lovers (musical story of artist Marc Chagall) at Dock Street Theater for Spoleto 2018. Most amazing performance of the entire Charleston trip!!

Saw the Steel Magnolias Play loved it! The building is beautiful! Sat in the balcony seat was in the center but right beside a column with a curtain and it was difficult to see BUT it was still a wonderful experience!

We visited briefly as part of a tour. Interesting history and great acoustics. Lovely repurposed building.

Very compact but very enjoyable. Saw Nevermore and the actors from Charleston Stage were wonderful.

Quaint theater in center of Charlestons historic district. Variety of subjects and genres covered. Always a good time.

Great theater. Have seen several productions here, and the acoustics are very good.

Beautiful place, great atmosphere and awesome plays. The bar is good, variety of drinking and snacks. There is no food or drinks allowed in the actual stage area, which is great keeps the place clean, also events are very well coordinated.

Attended Beauty and the Beast. Amazing show with perfect casting! Go see this show, it will be the best evening you will have all year.

Absolutely stunning venue and the actors are great. Came for A Christmas Carol and was not disappointed! Parking is super easy with all of the parking structures around, and getting tickets, etc. is a breeze at will call.

Love going. We buy season tickets every year. Good well done shows.

Nevermore is an excellent play in a true historic theatre. Must do this if a visitor or a local.

Wow what an amazing show what an amazing place

Saw a Christmas Pageant...it was super cute.

A charming spot to see a play in a theater from yesteryear. The seating was partitioned pews that were a bit uncomfortable but the charm was worth it.

Wonderful place that takes you back in time!

My first time and loved the production of Elf

Nice theatre. Staff were courteos and very helpful!

Historic and very nice. We enjoyed the play

Excellent play. We will definitely come back.

Pay as you please performance of Avenue Q was wonderful. All seats are great seats in this theater. Seats were comfortable. Restrooms were clean and well maintained. A small out door court yard with a fountain was delightful. I planned to get a drink before the performance, but they did not accept credit cards... Seems crazy they didnt have a Square card reader... Oh well!

Amazing show, gorgeous historical theater!

The oldest theater in the US, fun shows

Wonderful intimate venue for music and theater!!! Also historical landmark.

Great working history, if able to work in a event when visiting a must do.

Beautiful and historic theater. Loved the play we saw, but spent the entire pre-show and intermission absolutely in awe of the beauty of this place.

Love going to shows here. Beautiful and charming old theatre.

I love old theatres and this one was open to the public!

Elf...Great show..very entertaining, very much worth seeing... !!!

First time at the theater, and it was really nice sitting up in the balcony, except for a few things things. 1. The AC way blowing directly on us, and it was freezing. I should have taken a jacket. 2. The seats were a bit uncomfortable. My wife and I kept squirming in our seats trying to get comfy. 3. We couldnt see the entire stage. About 1/4 of the stage was hidden due to the design of the balcony. With that said, the cast was phenomenal, and they have a live orchestra!

Cool courtyard and free self guided tour all within walking distance of everything else in the area.

Such an unbelievable experience for me and my girls. We loved Beauty and the Beast.

I have seen so many great shows here.

If you are in Charleston you must catch a show here! We saw White Christmas and the production was stellar. To be transported back in time in one of the oldest theaters in America is a genuine treat for lovers of culture and history. A very genteel and elegant experience. Even our 13-year-old daughter had a great time. Thats a miracle.

We were a little disheartened that there werent any shows playing when we went (and theres no shows playing our next planned trip either), but that doesnt diminish how amazing this theater is. From the plush, red seats and curtains to the enormous stage...this historical theater is amazing in any theater lovers eyes.

Went for Bank of America Chamber music. It was outstanding.

Such a beautiful space. Saw a great play here, the theater enhanced the experience.

Marvelous historical place that produces great theater!

Great place to see wonderful theater

Went to musical misfits there. It was awesome, classy, and the staff is amazing especially Dana.

Excellent venue and very polite and helpful staff. The play was well done. We had a great time.

1st playhouse in America and still going...

Great performance! Very professional. And the time in Charleston was great too!

Went to see Avenue Q here. It is beautiful and intimate. The theater is interesting to see and read the history. It has personalityIn the balcony the view was fantastic but the seats were uncomfortable and there was no leg room

The seats downstairs are super super uncomfortable, probably the most uncomfortable Theater seating Ive ever experienced. The staff was nice, the facility was beautiful and the place was very clean. The seating being uncomfortable for an entire theater show was utterly unacceptable.

I love this place. Its so quaint and has so much history. I have never been disappointed by any show Ive seen here.

We love dock street theater. Pure and simple. Wonderful acoustics, great line of sight, intimate relationship with the performers.

Awesome theater. Small so not a bad seat in the house. The balcony seats are awesome. Sound was great and the cast & crew do a wonderful job. Cant wait to see more here!

If you have a chance to see a show here or attend a gala or event of any kind, DO IT! You wont regret it, as the history simply steeps from this place into the atmosphere and puts everyone in a better mood. The acoustics are wonderful as it feels similar to a cathedral (much like Atlantas Tabernacle but with richer history and clean seats). A show is enjoyable from any level, but I actually prefer the upper balcony as you can see and enjoy the theater as well as the stage performance. If you happen to be loitering after the show is over and everyone leaves, look out for the ghost of Nettie Dickerson that supposedly haunts the second floor... ;)

Show was hokie. Venue was nice. Not a fan of interjecting your political views in this setting. If i would have known I must likely would have not attended at all.

Usually venue for Spoleto performances but first visit outside of that festival to see Shakespeare in love. Excellent performance. The only issue is that not enough courtyard seating for Intermission and very odd they havent either noticed or addressed it as so many older and even impaired patrons would benefit along with other attendees.

Beautiful theater. Charleston stage always does a great job with their shows. They also bring in a wide variety of shows. Becoming a season ticket holder is not that expensive, and they are great perks involved.

Mamma Mia was excellent. Fun and lighthearted. Great performance. Highly recommend!!

Great little theatre

It was a Great experience. We really enjoyed the live performance. Would definitely go back

Went to see A Christmas Carol with my daughter in law and granddaughters. We throughly enjoyed the show & the beautiful theater.

Excellent place to see a show. Historic but comfortable. Great acoustics small enough that every seat in the house is a good one.

I LOVE coming here to see plays. Ive seen 5 so far and they are excellent every single time.

Charleston Stage does a great job. Neat historic theater.

Great theatre and show and the oldest theatre in the U.S. and redone to its original form about five years ago.

I havent seen any performances there yet but taking a self-guided tour was a great experience. Great location downtown.

Season tickets are the best way to go

By far beyond my expectations! Will return.

Excellent local theater. Very professional and an awesome off Broadway location to enjoy the theater.

Awesome show.

Saw, A Christmas Carol. Was one of the best performances we have ever see.

The sets were great. Acting was great. Seats comfortable. Truly enjoyed my date with my wife.

Excellent amazing elegant place to go and watch true theater.

Cool place to just visit.. Free
