The Warehouse Theatre is in its 34th continuous season of Intense, Intimate and Unexpected productions of live theatre. A cornerstone of Greenville's Historic Westend, this award winning converted textile warehouse, is the home of fifteen (sometimes more) productions a year, including our Mainstage and Edge Series, Shakespeare at Falls Park, Resident Theatre Companies, Shakespeare in the Schools program, Improv Late Nights and MORE!
At The Warehouse you can see the sort of theatre you can't see anywhere else in South Carolina's Upstate region...from re-envisioned classics and intense plays everyone knows to some of the most cutting edge new works you can buy tickets to. You'll find the finest mix of emerging talents, local professionals and artists from around the country...all are at the top of their game, and we want you to see their work.
We can't do this without you! Support in any way you can...buy tickets...tell your friends...give a tax-deductible donation. YOU, the interested audience member, are the backbone of The Warehouse.
Our Mission
The Warehouse Theatre is a professional theatre dedicated to theatre as a serious art form; to high-quality, diverse and challenging productions; to the training of theatre professionals; to community outreach; and to student education.
The Warehouse Theatre chooses plays that stretch the imagination of Upstate audiences; that energize and excite the community with Intense, Intimate and Unexpected performances that explore and celebrate the complexities of our time. The Warehouse Theatre does this to encourage an adventurousness of spirit, and to develop a hunger for the visceral impact of theatre, in the mind, heart, and soul.
