Beautiful theatre! Seats are in the round, so it's a very unique feeling for live theatre. Bathrooms on the second floor, entrance to seating on the third floor. There is an elevator and a small section of handicap accessible seating. read more

I finally got a chance to see the play "Raisin In The Sun" at USC college. The play was approx 2.5hrs long. Longstreet theatre is a small intimate venue, seating goes around the room. All the seats are actually good, but next time I will go early for a better seat choice. I actually liked the theater, even though its been neglected for many years. The outside of building is in great shape. The bathrooms are on the second floor, theater on third floor. Elevators are old and slow, we decided to use the stairs instead. No concessions, so eat before you attend. They are taking donations for the upgrade of the seats, I will post pics. The play was excellent, all the actors did such a wonderful job! I will watch the website for future plays. My daughter attended medical school at USC for 6yrs, so I have first hand experience on what the school charges for fees. Im really disappointed that the school has failed the up keep of this historic building. Im not accepting any excuses, its actually shameful. The Arts dept, staff and students deserve better than this. If you want the real history of the theatre, read the truth. I wasn't surprised at all. https://sc.edu/about/our_history/university_history/presidential_commission/commission_reports/final_report/appendices/appendix-11/recommended-for-removal/longstreet_theatre.php read more

I love this theatre. It's a intimate theatre in the round with a wonderful mix of performances, plays, and special events. They seem to have at least one Shakespeare play a year so that keeps me happy. :-) The "front" of the building (that faces the corner of Greene and Sumter) is beautiful and grand but the entrance is actually around the back. Ticket booth is on the first floor, bathrooms on the second floor and seating on the third. You will definitely get the full tour! There's not a bad seat in the house but be sure to get tickets for more popular shows early... It's a smaller venue. read more
