Trustus Theatre Review

Great atmosphere! Went to see a friend in a production.

small theater, but a small in a nice way. Their chairs are very comfortable. The actors and actress are locale people with very good performance. You can save some money if you buy seasonal ticket package. another nice thing about the seasonal tickets is that they do not expire.

I ve seen shows here that have rivaled the Broadway performances. My favorite place in town.

Great professional theatre! Beautifully designed and directed productions.

Enjoyed The Great Gatsby! Wonderful production! Phenomenal cast and crew! Great atmosphere too! I cant wait to go see The Heathers!

Absolute jewel in our community. Every show I have seen there have been AMAZING, friendly staff and excellent performers! It doesnt get better than watching a live play with a bottle of wine and cromers popcorn! Next step, season tickets!

I LOVE Trustus! Can't say a word against it! My fav. thing to do!

Great place to go see Amazing Plays. Very relevant and good. Give live theater a shot!

Great performance space and community resource. Nice acoustics and site lines. Chairs are very comfortable and there are ample places to stand as well. Stage is large enough to accommodate more elaborate troupes and performances.

Great space. We attended a girls rock Columbia benefit a few weeks ago. The seating is comfortable!

Awesome local Theatre, talented and friendly performers, and not a bad seat in the house. Looking forward to the upcoming season.

Wonderful live theatre company - the talent that crosses that stage never ceases to amaze me! Very friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere.
There s a bar attached and they have free popcorn (yeehaw!).

The Trustus Theater always puts on really great, modern plays, and the talent they attract is unbelievable.

I always enjoy going to the Trustus. Went to see Ain't Misbehav'n recently. The cast and music were the best I've seen & heard there thus far. Two thumbs up!

Small side theater but very intimate. Great employees.

Love this place! We are lucky to have Trustus in Columbia.

Great venue, friendly people, reasonably priced tickets.

Amazing performance of "Sweat" tonight. They made it easy to want to go back

We have been to a few shows here and have had a great experience every time. Saw RENT a few years back. Just saw Fun Home too and those were both amazing!

I'm all about supporting local talent. Support this one!

A Columbia landmark - definitely enjoyed the comfortable seats, small and intimate atmosphere, and talented performers. We saw American Idiot in July and thought the performers did a phenomenal job.

Great intimate theatre where every seat is a good one. Complimentary popcorn and a wine bar are excellent bonuses for a great evening.

Went to see Barbeque and was blown away, I also love this little theatre! I do wish there was more parking options, but I was able to find a great spot. Would definitely come back!

Always a pleasure to see high-quality, professional work. Trustus is a true gem.

My first experience with Trustus was with American Idiot, and I can't say enough positive things. The venue is small in the best of ways. All of the actors and actresses blew me away with their performance. I will definitely be returning.

Such fun productions, a convivial and welcoming environment, and a great little bar...oh, and comfy seats with lots of legroom. A nice way to spice up Columbia life!

The actors were great, it was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed myself. They provided popcorn and the scenes were simple but it was like I was really there. They did a great job.

the White Trash Christmas Musical was hysterical, fun and perfectly acted. I and my friends had the best time. the popcorn is delicious and the seats are very comfy.

I can't remember a time that I did not enjoying myself & I have been going for years! This past week was my first time seeing a play in the Black Box theater, a smaller space. It was wonderful. I had no idea of what to expect & was not disappointed at all! Columbia is just blessed to have Thrustus & folks who don't go are missing out.

I love this theater! Great shows, fun crowd, always a decent beer on tap....my kinda place

Small, intimate local theater in Downtown Columbia near great restaurants!

Really enjoyed the play, the atmosphere and the staff. Definitely worth checking out while in Columbia.

This is Columbia's best theatre and the state's only professional theatre. Go see any show playing. All are going to be good!

They are always finding ways to entertain, even during the pandemic. Can't wait to see what they do next.

Visited a few years ago and cannot wait to see the folks at the theatre again. We have to come all the way from Australia, you see, Looking to visit in October/November/December.

Best theater in town. Hands down. If you don t love Trustus, you re wrong.

Great venue, nice people, free popcorn! Wonderful show and actors!

As a first timer, I enjoyed this sequel to Pride and Prejudice. The actors were fantastic and the play was well written and funny.Good selection of drinks, clean bathrooms.

Fabulous theatre! Productions are always professional, unique, memorable...My favorite shows so far- The Restoration of Constance, Rocky Horror, and The American Tailer Park Christmas Musical. Wine and beer available for purchase and complimentary popcorn make it even more fun.

Saw the Great Gatsby... Show was interesting and cool. The popcorn was free and the seating was comfortable

Best theatre ever, great shows, phenomenal casts. Awesome place no matter the show!

Great shows, talented performers and a unique experience. I'd rate higher if the shows actually started on time.

This is a dream theater. I was blown away at the quality of talent and design in the Trustus in the Round production of Streetcar this past season. I will absolutely be returning soon!

GREAT local theater that's not afraid to try interesting shows.

Great local productions is small comfortable theatre. Parking is scarce.

Five stars for ambience. Three for content. Plots too heavy and language a bit coarse for me. I've been a patron of Trustus since the 80's.

I love the intimate atmosphere, variety of shows (from big Broadway to local playwrights) and you get free popcorn.

My favorite theatre in town. Always an excellent production to be seen. Great choice for a night out or a Sunday matinee. Don't forget to stop by the bar and grab a beverage to go with the free popcorn.

Heathers was a fantastic show! The cast nailed it. The venue was comfortable. I'll definitely be back. Well done!

Local theater, playing great shows. I've been to three and have enjoyed it everytime.

Amazingly excellent theatre! The Company performance was top notch actors, dancers and singers all in one! Great band as well. We've been to Plays from Abbeville, NC to Montgomery, Alabama (Shakespeare), but this was by far the most professional. Free popcorn beside every 2 seats that were on a private table. And there were guides that took you to your seat.

Good atmosphere. Presidential box seats are just really far back seats. We booked last minute so ended up there - still a good show, but get closer up if you can.

This show and place is amazing!! I will be going back again and again. Everyone was quite inviting and made me feel like I've been going for years. Like ol friends!!

Trailer Park Christmas is an annual staple! Always a funny and entertaining show. Trustus is great for local theater and challenging productions.

Wow. This evening I had the pleasure of seeing Memphis, and as a first timer, I was slightly apprehensive as to what to expect. Let s just say that I was blown away. From the moment we walked in, everyone was friendly, inviting, helpful, and informative. After getting a drink and being shown to our seats, we were thrilled to munch on the popcorn and read our program. The show started and I was instantly enthralled. The cast...wow. The leading lady...unreal. Gator? Made me cry. On the way home, my friend and I wanted to listen to the Broadway songs...and let s just say, the songs tonight were just as good (if not better) than those. What an incredible hidden gem you have established here in Columbia. I will absolutely be back, and I cannot wait to share with everyone how much I truly enjoyed my night out. Thank you so so much.

Long-running indie theater in a Civil War-era building. Has 2 performance venues and a bar, super comfy seating. Presents new works and regional premieres of mostly American plays.

Every play I've seen here has far outclassed even the biggest names in musical theater.

Took my wife and oldest son to see Company. It was awesomely amazing!!!! So much talent on one stage. Loved the actors daring to break the fourth wall and interacting with the audience... Will definitely be back ..

First time in their black box section. Very snug intimate space. Saw "Marjorie prime." Take a handkerchief. Very powerful. Excellent cast of four. Short run. Make room in your schedule to see it.
