This is a dream theater. I was blown away at the quality of talent and design in the “Trustus in the Round” production of “Streetcar” this past season. I will absolutely be returning soon!

First time in their black box section. Very snug intimate space. Saw Marjorie prime. Take a handkerchief. Very powerful. Excellent cast of four. Short run. Make room in your schedule to see it.

As a first timer, I enjoyed this sequel to Pride and Prejudice. The actors were fantastic and the play was well written and funny.Good selection of drinks, clean bathrooms.

Amazingly excellent theatre! The Company performance was top notch actors, dancers and singers all in one! Great band as well. Weve been to Plays from Abbeville, NC to Montgomery, Alabama (Shakespeare), but this was by far the most professional. Free popcorn beside every 2 seats that were on a private table. And there were guides that took you to your seat.Dan and Sue QuigleyLexington, South Carolina

The actors were great, it was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed myself. They provided popcorn and the scenes were simple but it was like I was really there. They did a great job.

Wow. This evening I had the pleasure of seeing Memphis, and as a first timer, I was slightly apprehensive as to what to expect. Let’s just say that I was blown away. From the moment we walked in, everyone was friendly, inviting, helpful, and informative. After getting a drink and being shown to our seats, we were thrilled to munch on the popcorn and read our program. The show started and I was instantly enthralled. The cast...wow. The leading lady...unreal. Gator? Made me cry. On the way home, my friend and I wanted to listen to the Broadway songs...and let’s just say, the songs tonight were just as good (if not better) than those. What an incredible hidden gem you have established here in Columbia. I will absolutely be back, and I cannot wait to share with everyone how much I truly enjoyed my night out. Thank you so so much.

Great performance space and community resource. Nice acoustics and site lines. Chairs are very comfortable and there are ample places to stand as well. Stage is large enough to accommodate more elaborate troupes and performances.

Good atmosphere. Presidential box seats are just really far back seats. We booked last minute so ended up there - still a good show, but get closer up if you can.

Absolute jewel in our community. Every show I have seen there have been AMAZING, friendly staff and excellent performers! It doesnt get better than watching a live play with a bottle of wine and cromers popcorn! Next step, season tickets!

Five stars for ambience. Three for content. Plots too heavy and language a bit coarse for me. Ive been a patron of Trustus since the 80s.

Small theater, but a small in a nice way. Their chairs are very comfortable. The actors and actress are locale people with very good performance. You can save some money if you buy seasonal ticket package. another nice thing about the seasonal tickets is that they do not expire.

I cant remember a time that I did not enjoying myself & I have been going for years! This past week was my first time seeing a play in the Black Box theater, a smaller space. It was wonderful. I had no idea of what to expect & was not disappointed at all! Columbia is just blessed to have Thrustus & folks who dont go are missing out.~
