I saw Hamlet last Tuesday at the Chapel Theatre… The College of Charleston Department of Theatre and Dance put on the play August 8-11 & 22-27 at 7:30. Unique experience to see the determination in the actors hearts. They were SUPER enthusiastic about what parts they had. The department’s mission is clearly stated in the website, it’s neat to see what they are doing.

I was never bored during the three hour presentation believe it or not. The theatre producer was running around trying to get as many people in as possible. It was rather complex getting in the theatre, but after a desperate line of students with twenty dollar bills in hand showed up, we were all able to get a seat. Unfortunately, this play is no longer showing, but I do recommend going to watch one of the plays put on by the theatre department. Here is a list of upcoming events and ticket sales you should consider this semester. Buy them quick they go FAST!

To get you started, I thought I would list some sources that will help you find arts events in Charleston:

College of Charleston School of Music

College of Charleston Theatre Productions

Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art

Charleston City Paper

Theatre 99

Pure Theatre

New Music Collective

Redux Contemporary Art Center

Jazz Artists of Charleston

Please add other sources in the comments to help each other find fun happenings around the city.

Dear Students,

Welcome to your Intro to Arts Management Blog! We are going to use this site to report on our arts experiences. Blogging is such a fun way to share knowledge with others in your fields of study. Consider this platform an opportunity to speak your voice and share with your classmates about the shows and events you are attending during the semester.

As listed on your syllabus, each of you is required to create posts about your arts experiences (a total of 3 per semester). Within the post, I would like to see the following:

1. What did you see and where was it? (include hyperlinks / URLs)

2. What was your reaction?

3. Discuss an element of your experience that related to something from our class discussions.

4. Would you recommend this event to others?

I am looking forward to sharing arts experiences together!
