South Carolina Onstage

South Carolina Onstage offers a collection of seven plays spanning two hundred years, all by South Carolina authors. It begins with a concise history of the theater in the Palmetto State, from the first dramatic productions in colonial Charleston through the rise of opera houses and community theatres across the state, to the dynamic dramatic culture South Carolina today enjoys. Each of the plays included here illuminates a different moment in South Carolinas history and is prefaced by an introductory essay. Collectively, these plays reveal the rich diversity of South Carolinas dramatic heritage.
