Threshold Repertory Theatre

We saw TRT’s rendition of «Of Mice And Men» last night and it was way better than I was expecting. Of Mice And Men is an absolute favorite of mine and I really didn’t think it could be done as well as it was with such a small company. But it’s all about the acting and the acting was top notch. Prices were reasonable for live theater ($ 20-​$ 25). I’m glad to see they’re able to attract such talent to a small venue like this and I’ll definitely be back!

This review is going to focus on a number of elements: Theater company, quality of productions and quality of stage and seating. For those that know the theater scene in Charleston, it is competitive and diverse. Threshold on Society is one of the more intimate theaters and one that has taken a number of risks over the last 5 plus seasons. This season is no exception with the new production «Of Mice and Men» starting this Thursday, January 14, 2016.
In the three productions I have been able to attend and tickets for Friday, the shows have been spectacular mostly due to great content and impressive local acting talent. The theater is small, but with great sound and acoustics, the quality of the sound is outstanding.
The staff from production to concessions is always so happy and appreciative. There isn’t any type of elitist or snubby feel. Everyone is treated with respect and they are so glad to see you.
This is truly one of the special theater companies in Charleston.

I have seen several shows here over the years. They have all been enjoyable. The span of plays chosen to perform each season is quite eclectic. Usually the set is pretty minimalist, but it doesn’t matter because the acting has always been phenomenal. It’s a very intimate Theater setting, and the prices are completely reasonable. You should definitely catch a show.

I saw Carnivalesque and it was pretty entertaining. Some of the stunts performed were of high skill. I wish the poi were on fire, but apparently that can’t happen inside a building where things can really catch on fire. The acrobatics were especially skillful. The girl was ripped! I appreciated seeing the muscles in action. The pain act was well, painful to watch which made it entertaining, and the magician… wouldn’t share his tricks. i’m still stumped. The Burlesque girl put on a good show too.
The theater itself: When I walked in, I was greeted by very friendly people. The theater was all black, but had a kind of home feel to it. I will for sure look for more shows here.
