The American Theater
Named in honor of America's servicemen and women, The American Theatre opened on September 19, 1942.
Opened in 1942 as Charleston's premier movie house, The American Theater's roots are regal Art Deco architecture and timeless Hollywood glamour. Today this stylish and sophisticated 8,000-square-foot event venue showcases a grand ballroom, vintage exterior marquee and state-of-the-art cinema with stadium seating. VIRTUAL TOUR + FLOOR PLAN:
