    Another superb performance from the CJO

    We attended the latest Charleston Jazz Orchestra at this excellent venue and they performed the music of Quincy Jones in an outstanding way. Having Quiana Parler who has a wonderful voice made the QJO performance even better.

    Great venue

    Smallish venue, great sound for the show I saw. Concessions had a good variety, prices are what you would expect for a show. Can take drinks and snacks into the theater. Efficient entry/bag search.

    Saw Chris D'Elia comedy show! Great atmosphere, drink selection was good, if a bit overpriced. Seating was great! Loved the stage area! Super easy access to all things downtown, too!

    Anytime that we have seen a performance there, we have had reserved seats but there may be some performances that only have general admission which would then be first come first serve.
