Choose from a lineup of shows for all tastes, including hit Broadway musicals, symphony renditions of iconic pop ballads and rollicking stand-up comedy. In the historic town of Beaufort, explore the works of local and regional artists at the Thibault Gallery – Art by Southern Hands, where oil and acrylic landscape paintings, handcrafted sculptures, metalworks and ceramics pieces reflect the lifestyle and beauty of the Lowcountry.
