Centre Stage-South Carolina

There’s no better professional theatre in town than Centre Stage. It’s the real deal. The best of local Greenville talent from their musicals & comedies to the fantastic New Play Festival and provocative dramas in their cool Fringe Series. There’s something on stage all year-​round!

The Centre Stage is a fabulous venue for all types of shows and muscials. We’ve been there many times and the staff is very friendly and the seating is very nice and comfortable. I highly recommend checking them out. You’ll be glad you did!

I was lucky enough to work at Center Stage and I am so glad that I did. The staff is wonderful. The season is so solid it makes me want to fly back out to see every show. I have never felt more at home with a group of strangers. If you are in the area or visiting see what is showing at Center Stage and treat yourself to the wonderful experience that is this great space with such talented actors and actresses and directors and technicians that bring everything together. Definitely a theatre that I would support, become a season ticket holder, treat yourself!

Recently visited for the first time to see Spam-​a-​lot, and we had so much fun! It’s a very intimate theater space. We had 2^nd row seats, but I doubt there’s a bad seat in the house. The actors were great, and they really put it all out there on stage.
The best part? Affordable tickets. We love seeing bigger productions too, but this was a nice change from paying big $$ to squint from the balcony!

Just saw A Few Good Men. 8 PM Saturday show.
Cozy and intimate theater, with clear views from any seat and excellent acoustics. Seamless production and set transition. The acting was spirited and impassioned. Intermission room showcases local artists’ works and serves cocktails. The staff is friendly and accommodating.
Recommend parking below the Lazy Goat, having a 6PM dinner at one of the many restaurants nearby, and walking through Falls Park to the theater. Will absolutely go back.

Just attended Rock and Roll Gold. What a terrific performance! Wonderful community theater. Intimate setting. Every seat is a good seat. We will be back.

I have been attending productions and volunteering with Centre Stage for a while and I absolutely love this playhouse. The actors/​actresses are always great and the variety of productions they put on can’t be beat! My only sore-​spot is with the seating. If you have seats too far to either side, you really miss out on a lot of the production. Buy your tickets early and shoot for the middle. It doesn’t matter how far up you are. Everyone in the middle section will have a wonderful view.

For a small community theater, these people do an excellent job. I’ve seen several productions here – musicals, drama, comedy – the cast is all professional and entertaining. The sets, the sound, the lighting are top notch. They do run the air conditioning a little cool, so you might want to bring a jacket or sweater if you get cold easy. They sell beer/​wine at the concession during intermission, and if you are there on opening night, local restaurants donate food for the audience after the show. Most recently there was food from The Cazbah, which was just phenomenal. Like the Greenville Little Theater, it is mostly retired people who patronize live theater here, but Centre Stage has a younger, hipper vibe in the cast and productions they put on. It’s for young people, too, and I’d like to see more of them support the arts or even get involved. Centre Stage also offers acting classes if you’d like to try your hand at the craft. Treat yourself to season tickets. Enjoy the show.

Saw «Side by Side by Sondheim» here– modern theater, set up in a semi-​circle with stadium seating, medium sized so it’s fairly intimate but big enough to have mics and sound wired. Good acoustics and sightlines, inexpensive tickets and variety of shows booked here. Readily available parking in downtown Greenville, with alots of restaurants in the area for pre-​theater dining. I’m sure the good show I saw here influenced my review… I recommend! Support the arts!

This is a classy little theater hidden away in an office building. As a kid I used to see banners for it in this part of downtown for years and could never figure out where the hell it was. Well, it’s back behind that natural gas company with the burning fountain.
This theater is a lot more intimate than the Little Theater (although not as much as Warehouse’s black box or the Café and Then Some’s cabaret-​style productions.) and runs some less famous plays and acts. But everything I’ve seen there has been immensely entertaining. They have concessions on the way in, too. I’d definitely keep my eye opening for what’s playing here if you’re on the lookout for some good theater in the area.
