“Tell me a story. Please…tell me a story.”

That’s a request we’ve all made since we learned to talk — and listen. And we still love a story — TV, movies, books, theatre – all stories to entertain, enrich, inspire, amuse.

At The Storefront Theatre, we tell stories through the faces and voices of actors but your imagination supplies the rest – set, props, costumes, everything.

We are reader’s theatre.

We Like Short-Shorts:
A Festival of 10-Minute Plays

It’s back! Our 13th annual 10-minute play festival with new plays,
new playwrights, and the fun of competition. This season, all the playwrights come from the outheast. We’ll see if that makes
a difference. It’s a fast-paced event with comedies and dramas, romances and mysteries. You’ll be laughing and crying –
maybe at the same time. Once again, we say: Love it or hate it –
it won’t last long.

SHOW DETAILS:

March 7 | 7:30pm

Theatre People, or The Angel Next Door

by Paul Slade Smith

Theatre People or the Angel Next Door -- a glittering, effervescent hit romantic comedy – like the old screwball comedies but more modern. “It’s an elegant, sweet-dry glass of champagne, bubbling over with non-stop laughs, merriment, glamor, and high-spirited hijinks. It’s hard to think of more fun you could have at the theatre right now, or really, more fun anywhere.” —BroadwayWorld.

April 18 | 7:30pm

TESTIMONIALS

Don’t just take our word, read from those who enjoyed our performances.

  • “It amazes me how engaging a work can still be without props, sets, and costumes. Audiences wind up really listening. And they find something worthy of that skill every time.”

    Roger Durrett, actor and audience member

  • "I’m now living in Los Angeles and am in the process of starting my own readers theatre patterned off of [this] very successful company."

    Shon Wilson, Los Angeles, CA

  • "The Storefront Theatre is one of “Waxhaw’s Best Kept Secrets” but our mission is to spread the word so everyone knows."
