What to See & Do

There’s a special magic that comes from watching a story come to life on stage. Spend an evening in one of Charleston’s iconic theaters and you’ll be mesmerized from the moment the performance begins until the final curtain call. Charleston offers countless ways to enjoy a night on the town. Step into an intimate venue for live jazz, laugh the night away at a comedy show or be swept up by the energy of a professional play or musical at the Historic Dock Street Theatre. Every performance is a chance to experience the city’s diverse creative spirit and connect with its community of local storytellers.
