Had a wonderful time at the show tonight. We found the theater just walking around in town. Dropped in and met Eric, a great guy who works at the theater and was assistant director of the current show. Eric gave us a tour, including the rehearsal space, and was a wealth of knowledge of the local theater scene. We grabbed two tics for the show and will definitely be back in the future

I attended two performances of Head Over Heels and it was very obvious that everyone involved put their hearts and souls into the production! The sets, acting, singing, choreography, the BAND!, sound, lights, EVERY THING was great. Very enjoyable and fun. I will definitely attend more performances here. (I may not have agreed with the politics of this particular show, but it was tastefully and professionally done). Thank you Footlight Players!!

I didnt get to see a show here but would have loved to. The building is the oldest theater I have seen. If there was ever a theater that looked haunted this is it.

These talented performers delighted me when I was voluntold to be in their edition of Putnam County Spelling Bee, and the atmosphere is classic and timeless.

See outstanding theatre in a piece of beautiful history. How can you beat that?! --and currently Footlight Players is offering a wonderful deal of tickets, fabulous dinner, and parking for $150.

We just returned from seeing Hair. The music and message still resonate. The powerful lyrics and spirited voices filled the room and building with so much heart. Despite being a small theatre, seating was comfortable and well thought out. Everyone has proximity to the stage. Not a bad seat in the house. Talented team of acting and singers. Fun that the audience gets some interaction from the players.I look forward to the next show. Thank you for an amazing experience.

This used to be a fun, entertaining, community theater. Now... not so much. The last production was promoting a radical, left wing agenda and we were embarrassed to attend with friends. We are season ticket holders but we are asking for a refund.I would not count on the description of the performance as published to represent truth. The last one, for instance, had nothing about what we actually saw. Since they are doing adaptations you cannot even count on knowing what to expect by knowing the original play.

I was here the other day for a play with my daughters school. They put on a production of Shrek, The Musical. It was adorable. Great for kids. The theater was clean and everyone was friendly. Would recommend.

Went to the April 29, 2019 performance of Miss Firecracker with 5 guests. A marginal play and cast. The theater was so cold, we couldn’t wait for the intermission. When we and others complained, the staff was either clueless of what to do or demonstrated they didn’t care. With the otherwise vibrant Charleston theater scene, we’re not going back here.

Ovation Tickets is whom they use to buy tickets online. Somehow they double booked my seats and I was told by the director that ovation tickets would make it right and refund my money and ovation tickets blame the theater. Have NOT received a refund and was mortified at how they acted when I was in line to pick up my tickets before the show they said they couldnt find me and get back behind the line so they could take care of the line. My total purchase was 226.00 dollars . Nobody wants to take ownership of this mistake. Pathetic.

This is a wonderful, old and historic theatre located in the French Quarter of Charleston. Viewed a great and entertaining production of Lend Me A Tenor. Comfortable seats, friendly staff. Simply, a very enjoyable experience.

Brought a hot date to Singin in the Rain. It was fantastic - very true to the original but also added some elements of pizazz and flavor. I got a lot of stares for the tux though; apparently I am out of fashion.

The talent in the quiet hidden away theater is worthy of much bigger stages. The plays they offer are provocative and well staged with an emphasis on the acting and not filling the set with distractions.

Dont go here that often, but when I do it is a fun time. Had to stand on long lines a few times, but on the whole, this is a good place to watch a show and the shows they get are usually worth the ticket.
