The Museum of the Waxhaws,

If you are a frequent Storefront performer, you do not have to audition.

“Tell me a story. Please…tell me a story.”

That’s a request we’ve all made since we learned to talk — and listen. And we still love a story — TV, movies, books, theatre – all stories to entertain, enrich, inspire, amuse.

At The Storefront Theatre, we tell stories through the faces and voices of actors but your imagination supplies the rest – set, props, costumes, everything.

We are reader’s theatre.

This project was supported by the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources

TESTIMONIALS

Don’t just take our word, read from those who enjoyed our performances.

  • “It amazes me how engaging a work can still be without props, sets, and costumes. Audiences wind up really listening. And they find something worthy of that skill every time.”

    Roger Durrett, actor and audience member

  • "The Storefront Theatre is one of “Waxhaw’s Best Kept Secrets” but our mission is to spread the word so everyone knows."

    Devoted Storefront Theatre Fans, Aliene and Franklin Sparkman

  • "It’s like a flashback to the good ole days when folks would gather around their radio to hear top notch shows and theatre and let their imaginations carry them to places ear and far. A real sensory treat that’s not to be missed!"

    Jane Kusterer, season ticket audience member

  • "This was my first experience with reader's theatre, and lucky for me I had the chance to visit during the run of We Like Short Shorts. What a wonderful show and what a wonderful asset to the community. I can't wait to come back! "
