Haunted Coverage
WYFF aired a great story last weekend previewing the AWESOME Mansion in the Mist haunted house at The Warehouse. So click on over there to watch the story, then mark your calendar for this Friday, Saturday and Halloween Night to stop by for a good old-fashioned Halloween scare!
And make sure to stop by Piazza Bergamo this Thursday-Sunday for the final weekend of The Upstate Shakespeare Festival’s Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
Ah… so many ways to have your spine tingled this year. Make sure you don’t miss any of them!
And hey… if you’ve already been to one or both of these events, feel free to leave a comment below to let us know what you thought! (comments will not appear immediately, they will appear after they have been approved)
Freedom of Speech
We have a pretty exciting event coming up on November… and we just couldn’t put off telling you about it. Eliza Jane Schneider - who voices several characters on "South Park," as well as a pretty impressive longer list of credits - will be performing her one-woman show, Freedom of Speech for ONE NIGHT ONLY on November 10th! Good golly, Miss Molly! (Or some exclamation that’s way less square than "Good golly, Miss Molly!") The deal is, she traveled all over the country talking to people about their views and collecting their dialects - and she has compiled some of the most touching, outrageous and entertaining into a 1-woman, 34-character show. Pretty incredible! And - to get you amped up about it - visit her website or listen to this clip with a bunch of her characters stirred together from a previous performance of her show.
This is gonna be really cool. Make sure to call ahead to get your ticket now!
And, of course, our production of The Turn of the Screw closes this weekend… so make sure to catch one of the last three performances, and stay late Friday and Saturday for The Distracted Globe’s late night improv, Fall All Over Greenville!
Friday Night Laughter
This Friday, August 3rd, join as at The Warehouse Theatre as we host local boys-made-good Rory Scovel and Jay Hastings.
The 8:00pm show is SOLD OUT!! We have added a 10:30pm show. Call 235-6948 for reservations. Tickets are $10
Before they start their International tour of their 90 minute show, Jay Hastings & Rory Scovel have decided to do one more show in Greenville and happily it’s at The Warehouse Theatre. These two comedians originally from Greenville who now work out of Washington, DC and New York City bring their wildly funny comic style back to where it all began for them.
Leave the kids at home! This show is intended for Adult audiences!!
And… just to give you a little taste of what to expect, check out a couple of YouTube clips!

I read J people
The headline was a stretch, I know. Forgive me.
Anyway, the new Journeymen (or Js, as we affectionately call them) are beginning to arrive, and so they’re going to start lending their voices to the Warehouse blog. And they’ll be here all year, ready to share their background, experiences, inside scoops, expectations… all that good stuff. So stay tuned and give them a big welcome!
Online Audience Survey
As you all know, we are going through a lot of exciting changes right now. In order to help us continue to grow and continue to bring you the high quality professional theatre that you have come to expect, we wanted to ask you a few questions.
At the end of this post you will find a link to a survey – a survey that will help us focus our efforts to communicate and engage with our community. The survey itself should only take 5-10 minutes, but the insight you will give us will last much longer. We hope that you’ll take a couple of minutes to weigh in.
If you already took a paper survey at Julius Caesar or Bad Dates, or if you received this link in a similar email, we already have your responses. But if you haven’t completed a paper survey, now would be the perfect time to let us know what you think.
Thank you so much for your time and input.
We’ll see you at the theatre!
Keepin’ On
Well, The Distracted Globe closed their production of Much Ado About Nothing this weekend to several great audiences. They also performed some pretty crazed improv at the expense of Macbeth, which was a lot of fun. Thanks for coming out to support them! And make sure to stay tuned in for July when The Distracted Globe presents Hay Fever by Noel Coward and The Upstate Shakespeare Festival presents As You Like It.
And, stay tuned to this very blog… as it will soon have more than one voice behind the blog!
