'I'm interested in creating works that are surprising, irreverent, and inherently theatrical.'

This stripped-down AIDA literally glows with life.

'We all know pain, sorrow, hurt and loneliness. Hank Williams knew these things intimately.'

'We’re just excited to be a part of a process that helps promote and foster new art.' West Hyler, Executive Artistic Director of the inaugural South Carolina New Play Festival, wants to tell you a story.

On July 22, their most recent season concludes with a production of HANK WILLIAMS: LOST HIGHWAY in their home space, the historic Pelzer Auditorium. But July 22 also sees the opening of a brand new season at their new second location, the Simpsonville Arts Center. For their premiere prodcution in the space, MTP presents CHILDREN OF EDEN.

'This season is really focusing on acknowledging history'

'I can't wait to see the audience react.'

Expect cross dressing, deceit, and general campy comedic hijinks.

This play is not to be missed.

I caught up with Peter Matthew Smith by phone and asked him to tell us more about playing King George III, the musical's regal comic relief. 'It's a non-stop festival for your ears and eyes.'

“Wear pink to the theatre!”

'You get a real rock concert experience.'

It's like a war movie where you see teenage girls preparing for battle rather than men.

'Seeing this show live is so much more magical than watching the movie.'

Good fences make good neighbors - or do they?

Just around the corner is a little mission where you are always welcome to seek refuge from this jungle of sin. Inside you will find Sergeant Sarah Brown - Sister Sarah Brown - who only wants her flock to follow the fold and stray no more.

'This show is a great way to celebrate'

'It’s a celebration of what makes The Warehouse The Warehouse.'

'All of the shows in our 2022-2023 lineup celebrate joy!'

'I really mean it when I say there's something for everybody in this show!'
