GCT is housed in the old State Theater building that opened to the public as a movie house in 1934. GCT has called this historic location at 110 Main Street home for more than thirty years.

Bad news is, Hermia's father wants Demetrius for a son-in-law. On the outside is Helena, whose unreturned love burns for Demetrius. Hermia and Lysander plan to flee from the city under the cover of darkness but are pursued by an enraged Demetrius (who is himself pursued by an enraptured Helena). In the forest, unbeknownst to the mortals, Oberon and Titania (King and Queen of the fairies) are having a spat over a servant boy. The plot twists when Oberon's head mischief-maker, Puck, runs loose with a flower which causes people to fall in love with the first thing they see upon waking. Throw in a group of laborers preparing a play for the Duke's wedding (one of whom is given a donkey's head and Titania for a lover by Puck) and the complications become fantastically funny.

Little Shop of Horrors (2008 SC Festival of Flowers Performance) Musical/Comedy/Horror by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken Thursday, June 17 - Sunday, June 22, 2008   A down-and-out floral assistant becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers an exotic plant with a mysterious craving for fresh blood.  "Audrey II" becomes an ill-tempered, R&B-singing carnivore who offers him fame and fortune.  One of the longest-running shows of all time, this spoof of 1950s sci-fi movies has become a house-hold name.  Charming, ironic, tuneful, and hilarious, Little Shop Of Horrors never fails to entertain.
