Since July 11, 2014 the following are true,
28 original plays.
6 years of sold out performances.
1 award-winning short film.
Visits from 4 different Tony Award and Olivier Award-winning producers.
400+ annual Season Pass holders.
And that’s just our time in Charleston. Owners-writers-actors Jeff Querin and Stephen Wayne started 34 West in 2000, creating 50+ original stories for the stage. They’ve performed their shows in everything from a bluegrass bar in Brooklyn to a prison in New Mexico!
However, on any given Thursday through Saturday in Charleston, you can see something extraordinarily unique in the heart of downtown. Innovation and creativity combine on the corner of Meeting and Pinckney Streets.
Take our current show SHE DRIVES ME CRAZY as a perfect example of the “magic” that occurs.
Four actors change characters in the blink of an eye. A 90’s coffee shop changes to a shopping mall then to a 5-story walkup then back to a coffee shop — all without you realizing any costly hydraulics or major pyrotechnics were not used.
That’s why people return again… and again. Not only is this particular live theater experience incomparable to ANYWHERE ELSE but no other venue allows you to have the artists make you a drink before the magic begins!
It’s a place where creativity mingles amongst a community of like minds. Part theatrical workshop, part cocktail party.
Over the past 8 years, what’s developed is an incubator of sorts; a creativity machine where love, inspiration and positivity are the gear works.
We hope you can experience one of these evenings with us soon! For tickets…
