The Flowertown Players — Attraction in Summerville

A few years ago, a friend invited me to see the play “Clue” at Flowertown Players. It surpassed all of my expectations for community theatre. It was hilarious!

This past November, I noticed Flowertown Players was having auditions for Into the Woods, one of my all-time favorite musicals. My wife helped me work up the courage to audition, and to my surprise, Flowertown Players has become my new home.

The sense of community that you feel at FTP is unlike any other theatre I’ve ever been a part of. The directors care about you. They treat you like old friends we’ve known forever, and you have a blast connecting with people of all different backgrounds.

Furthermore, the president of the theatre meets you in person, supports every show and hugs the actors like they’re family. She also attends every outreach to get the next generation of theatre nerds to be a part of the magic.

This isn’t just a community theatre to see some plays and musicals. This is the heart of downtown Summerville, a haven for actors, techies, musicians and everything in between with day jobs that have nothing to do with theatre… and the place where I finally feel at home.

Whether you’re a patron buying a ticket or you’re a body on the stage - you’re appreciated and loved at Flowertown Players....

My wife and I moved to SC a couple of years ago and thankfully were introduced to the theater shorty thereafter.

We have enjoyed multiple shows- comedies and musicals. Every show we have seen has been stellar. The staff has always been kind, inviting and helpful. The cast has always been amazing and on point!

Most recently I saw the show Noises Off. I think the theater did an excellent job at communicating the “mature audience” or “adult content” with the show. Ok, yes, it has some language and some sexual references and innuendos, but nothing that takes away from the show. This show is hilariously chaotic. The cast is hilarious—each one fully embracing their character/s. Gosh, I can’t remember the last time I laughed so hard at a live performance than I did in the second act. Kudos to y’all.

This small theater truly is a GEM in the low country. Check it out! I promise you will not be...

Wow… what a little jewel right here in Summerville. My wife and I attended the local production of “Christmas Story”. It was extremely entertaining and quite professionally acted and produced. For years, I’ve attended plays all over the country and world for that matter. I’ve seen some impressive performances from the likes of Paul Newman and Patricia O’Neal in other localities. The Flowertown players may not enjoy the breath of experience such as those illuminaires but they kept pace nonetheless with a worthy version of this classic Christmas feature.

I am looking forward to attending many more efforts as we explore the footlights of our local theater and it’s cast of earnest and accomplished...
