Fun night watching Spamalot at Town Theatre…read more What I loved: - free, easy on street parking after 7 pm. - super affordable concessions including beer and wine - decent sound and lighting Some highlights from the show: - the actors came out into the theatre aisles several times - fabulous flexibility by the cast - many people played multiple roles - great costumes and costume changes - several South Carolina jokes slipped in Community theater at its finest.

On a recent visit to Columbia, we had the fantastic experience of watching Town Theatre's…read moreproduction of the Wizard of Oz. My youngest daughter has an interest in theater and I wanted to give her an experience that would encourage and inspire her to continue to express herself through acting. While I'm originally from Lexington, I now live in Honolulu, Hawaii. So I did some research online and saw that there was to be a performance while we were in town. I jumped at the opportunity and purchased tickets for us. The prices were very reasonable and we were able to get seats near the front/close to the stage - but not uncomfortably close. The theater itself was very well maintained, especially since it's a older/historic building. The staff were very pleasant and welcoming. They even offered to print our tickets since we had no way of doing so. Also, the need to print tickets never occurred to me as I've converted to having most things in digital format in my day to day life. We were guided to our seats and given a thorough theater layout (pointing out restroom locations, exits, etc.) The highlight of the evening, of course, was the performance. We were both impressed with how incredibly talented the performers were at this community theater. I would love to visit again next time we're in town and if I were to live in the Columbia area, I am confident that my family and I would have season tickets.

Amazing find in Columbia to learn about history that's more centralised around South Carolina's…read morerich military heritage! There is a huge emphasis on the Confederate side when it comes to their civil war exhibits and it is truly unique to learn and see this part of American history! Also they have exhibits for Revolutionary War, Spanish-American War, WWI, WWII, Vietnam, and the global war on terror; Not as exhaustive as the civil war exhibits but still very awesome to see! I would definitely come back!!

I love museums but confess I have trouble loving this one. It just reminds too much of all the…read moredeaths and struggles of the Civil War with problems we are still forced to confront today. However, we must maintain history and for that purpose the Confederate Relic Room and Museum does a decent enough job of it. Surprisingly the museum has all kinds of drawings of Confederate naval ships which naval operations were far more extensive than I had thought and are near completely overlooked within the museums of Gettysburg. They also have a gun, saber, sword and uniform collection, the labeling of some of which I would question such as what is clearly a sabre being as a sword. The pride of the museum however seems to be its flag collection. Indeed it is said to have the most inclusive battle flag collection of any museum within the United States, though however, it is focused mostly upon the regiments & etc. of South Carolina. Though I can't exactly say I'm a fan of it, as a museum it is unique with well set up displays; hence Four Stars.

I finally got a chance to see the play "Raisin In The Sun" at USC college. The play was approx…read more2.5hrs 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

Im in love with the arts and the amazing talent right here in my city!!!…read more This was the most stunning performance ever, job well done. This was performed at the was at the township theater. I had to give some love to this awesome hard working group of people. I saw "Off the Wall and Onto The Stage" with Jonathan Green's paintings & William Starrett Director. The elegant collaboration was beautifully done. I will attach some Gullah History and a few pics! I will be attending and supporting City Ballet from now on, you can also give a online donation.

They are super friendly, wonderful to talk with, and the girls really learn to dance even at this age. I was surprised by how professional they were, and really recommend this school to anyone looking to have their child learn structure, and possibly dance professionally when they are older. I truly feel this school gives children the tools to be a future professional dancer!

But there were a decent amount of booths and people! I enjoyed sitting by the fountain, people watching, drinking beer, and listening to the music. I loved seeing the fountain water purple, that added a fun little flair to the event. There were people of all ages at this event and it everyone seemed to be having a good time. The food vendors there were Village Idiot Pizza, Brain Freeze, and The Belgium Waffle Truck. Of course you're right in the heart of five points at this festival, with plenty of food options around. I had fun and I would return next year!

There are events almost every game for the kids, dogs, and the family. I can't recommend going to these games enough. Sure it's not quite minor league baseball and it shows, but it's cheap, good fun. Also, Hank Aaron throws out the first pitch on 12 June!
