About The American Theater

Rooted in rich history, the American Theater has become a true Charleston landmark in the years since it first opened in 1942. Ideally located in the heart of downtown Charleston on vibrant and bustling Upper King Street, this art deco-inspired venue provides a unique and versatile space for your one-of-a-kind event. The American Theater has played supporting roles in major motion pictures, one of which was the setting to Allie + Noah’s iconic first date in The Notebook! With an unmatched ambiance that is very much its own, plus a variety of distinctive venue options to consider, the theater provides the perfect backdrop for weddings, rehearsal dinners, after parties, private celebrations, and charitable and corporate events.
