Welcome to the

Abbeville Opera House

The historic Abbeville Opera House is now celebrating its one hundredth birthday.Our summer theatre season is   30 years old this year and our theatre is more popular now than ever before.  We have twice received the South Carolina Governors Travel Award  for Tourism and each season - as the Official State Theatre of South Carolina - we attract over 17,000 theatre patrons to our wonderful community each season.  The Abbeville Opera House maintains an outstanding company of talented performers, technicians and staff- presenting two exciting and challenging theatre seasons totaling over 36 weekends of live theatre a year.   The Abbeville Opera House is generally considered to be the  catalyst for the revitalization of our historic community filled with antique, gift and curio shops, restaurants, hotels and bed and breakfasts.  We invite you to join us and welcome you to our turn-of-the-century theatre.
