Welcome to the Renaissance! Don’t miss this hilarious musical following the Bottom brothers, Nick and Nigel, struggling playwrights trying to make a name for themselves in the shadow of William Shakespeare. When a local soothsayer tells the brothers that the future of theatre involves singing and dancing, they decide to create the world’s first musical. Amidst the excitement of opening night, Nick and Nigel find true power in following their dreams, even when faced with seemingly insurmountable odds. Town’s stinky cast is led by Paul Lindley (Shrek) and Von Huber (The Play That Goes Wrong) as Nick and Nigel Bottom. Their rival and inspiration, William Shakespeare, is taken by Anthony Matrejek (Nice Work if You Can Get It). Bea, Nick’s wife, is in the capable hands of Roxanne Rich (42nd Street) while Portia, Nigel’s love interest, is taken by Caroline Quinn (Grease). David LaTorre (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical) sets the plot in motion as Nostradamus with James Galluzzo (Tarzan) providing some opposition as Brother Jeremiah. This show could not happen without the ensemble who takes on a variety of roles – even dancing eggs. Audiences will remember Taryn Wilhoit Davis, Mathew Eberhardt, Nicholas Eberhardt and Avery McCree all from A Christmas Story: The Musical, and Elizabeth Rawson and Alyssa Wilson from Beautiful: The Carole King Musical. Also appearing is Chauntel Bland (Beauty and the Beast), Zanna Mills (Bright Star) and Katie Gatch (Catch Me if You Can). Mary Jayne Davis, Meg Greeley, James Nolan, Grayson Norene, McKinley Porth and Lee Saxton hand jive their way over from Grease. Aydan Wunderlich (Into the Woods), Steve Wrona (Jekyll & Hyde), Robin Blume (Mary Poppins), Leah Tudor (Arsenic and Old Lace) and Joey Weaver (Hello, Dolly!) take the Town stage once again. Maggie Baker and Nathan Jackson bring their A-game from The All Night Strut while Carly Grosse and Ivy Munnerlyn are some of our favorite things from The Sound of Music. Connor Etcheson and Katie Sawicki followed the yellow brick road from The Wizard of Oz with Agnes Babb, Nathan Dawson and Richard Fisher back on the stage after wrapping White Christmas. And we welcome our new faces to the theatre: Michael Adams, Kameron Carpenter, Alex Fossum, Chris Matney, William Alexander Milhouse, Maria Siepel, Jeff Sigley, Sara Slaughter and Julia Turner. Something Rotten runs May 10-25 with 7:30 PM performances Thursdays through Saturdays and 3:00 PM Sunday matinees. Tickets are available at towntheatre.com or by calling 803-799-2510. The show is directed by Jamie Harrington, with Amanda Hines Wrona serving as music director and choreography provided by Christy Shealy Mills. Jillian Bigony serves as costumer. Set design is by Bob Bramhall, light design by Jeremy Hansard, sound design by Clark Wilson and stage management from Katie Ohnesorge. The show is generously sponsored by Carolina Children’s Dentistry, Jim Hudson Automotive and Synovus. This musical includes adult situations and some language. Rated PG-13.

As part of our ReelTalk: Docuseries we will be hosting a screening of Butterfly in the Sky on Wednesday, May 15 at 6:30 p.m. Stick around after the screening for an engaging talkback session moderated by media literacy expert Frank Baker. With his wealth of experience in education and media literacy, Frank will lead a dynamic discussion with local experts involved in literacy efforts, providing further insights into the impact of educational initiatives in our communities. This event isn’t just about watching a documentary—it’s about coming together as a community to celebrate the joy of reading and the transformative power of education. Whether you grew up with Reading Rainbow or you’re discovering it for the first time, don’t miss this opportunity to be part of something truly special. About the film: Butterfly in the Sky tells the story of the beloved PBS children’s series “Reading Rainbow,” its iconic host LeVar Burton, and the challenges its creators faced in cultivating a love of reading through television. Two seconds into the bubbling synth sounds of its theme song will have a child of the 1980s or ‘90s exclaiming “Reading Rainbow!” Such is the beloved nature of the classic children’s literary television show that introduced millions of kids to the wonder of books. Not only did the series insist on having kids speak to kids about their favorite stories, Reading Rainbow introduced the world to one of the most adored television hosts of all time, LeVar Burton. Thanks to his direct, non-patronizing and, most importantly, kind delivery, Burton became a conduit to learning for children of every background – delving behind the pages to the people, places, and things each new story explored.

This new film version of the play Borrowed Landscape is a collaboration between playwright duo tauchgold, composer Dai Fujikura, the BlackBox Ensemble, and cinematographer Kevin Chiu. The film is taken from the live premiere of the work at the Noguchi Museum in Queens, NY on November 8, 2023. The screening of this film coincides with the BlackBox ensemble’s 2024 southeast tour, which will end with a feature on the Southern Exposure New Music Series at The University of South Carolina in Columbia, SC on Oct 4, 2024.

About the film: A famous Stradivarius, walled up for years in a cellar in Budapest. A double bass, left behind in 1939 when fleeing from Poland to Erez Israel. A piano, silenced after the Hiroshima bomb killed its young owner. The musicians of a trio approach the stories of their three special instruments. What secrets are hidden in them? What meaning do we humans assign to things? Can an object, can an instrument develop something like personality? Does an instrument remember – or: how does it remember its players? What is memory, what is forgetting? What must be remembered, what can be forgotten? – These are the questions the musicians of a piano trio explore when they are invited to a memorial concert in Hiroshima.

Join The Nick for a special evening with Mark himself, Greg Sestero – star of The Room and the New York Times best-selling author of the Oscar-nominated The Disaster Artist! The evening will include a special 20th Anniversary screening of The Room featuring live commentary + Q&A with Greg.

You’ll find yourself saying “What a story Mark!” time and time again, as he’s not keeping any of his stupid comments in his pocket on this night.

Plus a meet-and-greet with Greg after the show…and maybe even a bonus surprise or two?!
