- Sprouts Theater - enticed to come to CreativeSpark.org in Mt.Pleasant - anotherRenaissance Man, Stan Gill could be in Seattle, Toronto, NY, London, etc, but “WE” got him <– so the world needs to come to Charleston to see Sprouts.

- Theater 99 and The Have-Nots Improv Comedy – Read the DoTheCharleston.com REVIEW – Improv Training “…ALIVE” live Theater – Magnetized performers pull-in the audience on a time warp rocket ride where no man has gone before. Whether a Pro, “passive” theater goer, or inquisitive wanna-be Trainee… FREE association…spring back to LIFE (L’Chaim) on a natural high that you can’t bottle and sell – its free, yet it’s priceless. Good or bad, it’s so easy to laugh and smile. Confused? How can you ride a roller coaster in downtown Charleston? Well come on down to the end of the peninsula, it’s never ending…”
- Midtown/Sheri Grace Productions <– from downtown, go over the Ashely River to Folly Rd. Click on DoTheCharleston.com REVIEW of Play, “OUT of STERNO” by local Director Robin Farmer…even the set is fresh and fun – credit Theater Partner Ryan Ahlert. He Broadens Horizons, in that one can aspire to be a Renaissance Man like Ryan: he is a Business “Partner;” an Artist; a sophisticated space saving architect; and makes it all work as a blue collar carpenter on a budget. (<– Side track, to emphasize a recurring example on DoTheCharleston.com: We all benefit living creatively. NOW, open your mind & your eyes, and it comes at you from every angle and out of the woodwork (pun intended). Downsize with pocket doors, folding walls, and spinning tables of changing art. It is so much fun to to live efficiently).
