What did our critic think of PIPELINE at Warehouse Theatre?

Last seen here in July 2019, DEAR EVAN HANSEN tells a profound and deeply personal story of social anxiety, community loss, and the overwhelming influence of social media.

This weekend marks the South Carolina regional premiere of THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY, the Tony Award-winning musical based on the bestselling novel. The show runs from September 30 to October 16 at the Mill Town Players original location, historic Pelzer Auditorium.

'This is a story about love, conflict, questions, and choice. It is real and raw and can resonate with everyone.'

What did our critic think of SOMETHING ROTTEN at Greenville Theatre? Ah, the 90's, when so many things were ripe for reinvention. New clothes, new music, new writers, new ways of spreading ideas.

What did our critic think of THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE at Warehouse Theatre?

On July 22, their most recent season concludes with a production of HANK WILLIAMS: LOST HIGHWAY in their home space, the historic Pelzer Auditorium. But July 22 also sees the opening of a brand new season at their new second location, the Simpsonville Arts Center. For their premiere prodcution in the space, MTP presents CHILDREN OF EDEN.

'This season is really focusing on acknowledging history'

'I can't wait to see the audience react.'

Expect cross dressing, deceit, and general campy comedic hijinks.

This play is not to be missed.

I caught up with Peter Matthew Smith by phone and asked him to tell us more about playing King George III, the musical's regal comic relief. 'It's a non-stop festival for your ears and eyes.'
