by BWW News Desk - April 17, 2014
The Footlight Players, South Carolina's longest-producing theatre company, is thrilled to present Twentieth Century, the story of a Broadway director and his quest to woo his former lover and star back to the Broadway Stage.

Twentieth Century arrives on stage May 2 at 8:00 pm and May 3, 8, 9,10,15, 16 and 17 at 8:00 pm with matinees on May 11 & 18 at 3:00 pm.
BWW Reviews: RACE Gets Under the Skin
by Elizabeth Peterson-Vita - April 15, 2014
Race, David Mamet's incendiary exploration of truth and lies provoked by racial identity and expectation, has just completed its first week at Trustus Side Door Theatre, in collaboration with the NiA Company. Happily for Columbia audiences, it runs for another week, allowing continued opportunity for this production to provoke and bestir. Staged here in the small, spare environment of a black box theatre, Race is a decidedly adult drama underscored by barbed wit and suspense, and its enforced intimate setting creates a hothouse urgency that literally does not allow one to look away. Attention, as has been famously said in other theatre contexts, must be paid.

BWW Reviews: PUSS IN BOOTS is Frisky Fun
by Elizabeth Peterson-Vita - February 11, 2014
Puss in Boots is currently playing at the Columbia Children's Theatre and is sure to delight the small fry, with plenty to amuse older children and their parents as well. It certainly held the attention of a rapt young audience at a recent matinee, a difficult task that speaks for itself. A delightful and imaginative retelling of the Perrault classic, this is not 'your father's Puss in Boots'. Set in the Old South with plenty of references to Puss' trickster patrimony, this production preserves the classic fairy tale overlaid with generous parody of regional identity. Not to mention the sheer comic value of outsized, spectacular red boots that no similarly outsized character can do without.
