The Great Gatsby
Apr 3 all-day
Peace Center

The party’s roaring in Greenville!

THE GREAT GATSBY is a “Broadway extravaganza that explodes with life and energy” (Entertainment Weekly). Based on the classic American novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the Tony Award®-winning new musical is an unforgettable journey of love, wealth, and tragedy that brings the Roaring Twenties to life on stage.

Directed by Marc Bruni (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical), this story of extravagance and longing features choreography by Dominique Kelley (So You Think You Can Dance), a book by Kait Kerrigan (The Mad Ones) and a jazz- and pop-influenced original score by Jason Howland (Little Women) and Nathan Tysen (Paradise Square).

The Great Gatsby is recommended for ages 10+.

Tues, Mar 31, Apr 1, 2 @ 7:30 pm
Sat, Apr 4, @ 2:00 pm
Sun, Apr 5 @ 1:00 pm
Sun, Apr 5 @ 6:30 pm
The Mountaintop
Apr 3 all-day
The Warehouse Theatre

A gripping re-imagination of events the night before the assassination of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. On April 3, 1968, after delivering one of his most memorable speeches, an exhausted Dr. King retires to his room at the Lorraine Motel while a storm rages outside. When a mysterious stranger arrives with some surprising news, King is forced to confront his destiny and his legacy.

WHY SEE THIS SHOW:  One of the most produced plays of the last 15 years, we’re finally bringing it to Greenville. Written by Tony-nominated playwright Katori Hall, this is a moving and surprising take on MLK. What starts out as a realistic drama slowly becomes something bigger, and it is in these moments that the play truly transcends what you may or may not think of MLK. It’s a play that illustrates sometimes it’s helpful to humanize our heroes.

With a cannot-miss ending that adds to the surprise, this is a drama with humor and insight that illuminates a vitally important moment in American history. Given our audience’s love for our recent history plays (ASSASSINS, THE LEHMAN TRILOGY) this will be another can’t miss production.

WHO SHOULD SEE THIS SHOW?  If you enjoyed PIPELINE, ALL MY SONS, IN THE NEXT ROOM OR THE VIBRATOR PLAY, “The Crown,” “The Great,” “Underground Railroad,” or Selma.

BEAUTIFUL: THE CAROLE KING MUSICAL
May 1 – May 10 all-day
Spartanburg Little Theatre

May 1-10, 2026
Her journey was as extraordinary as her music. At eighteen, Carole King wrote number one songs for Aretha Franklin and The Drifters. At twenty-nine, she was the voice of a generation. The road along the way was full of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery. It wasn’t always perfect, but it was real – and that’s what made it beautiful. A smash hit on Broadway and London’s West End, this soaring and inspiring musical features two decades of King’s hits, including “You’ve Got a Friend”, “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” and “I Feel the Earth Move.”
