The Spartanburg Youth Theatre, the 2nd oldest Youth Theatre in the state of South Carolina, opens their season today with the Roald Dahl classic “James and the Giant Peach”.
The Spartanburg Youth Theatre is also the only “by youth, for youth” Youth Theatre in the entire state and perhaps the entire country. SYT is unique in that the children do all the work….no adults appear on stage, and only children run the light board, the soundboard, stage manage and work backstage.
The shows are only an hour long, so it’s perfect for the “young attention span”, and the 1000+ school children who viewed the show over the past few days during the school hours love it.
And at $9 per child and $12 per adult, it’s the best entertainment deal in town! 3 performances only. Friday, October 9 at 4:30 and 7:00 pm (the 4:30 performance is almost SOLD OUT) and Saturday, October 10 at 10:30 am. Tickets are available at www.chapmanculturalcenter.org or at (864) 542-ARTS.
