Open Stage Door

Spoleto Festival USA is committed to being not just a significant event that happens in Charleston, but also a significant part of Charleston.  To further this goal, Spoleto Festival USA works hard to make sure that all members of the community have the opportunity to be a part of the Spoleto experience.

Every year, the Open Stage Door program distributes complimentary tickets to a variety of Festival performances.  Community-based organizations, social service agencies and other non-profit groups serving underprivileged populations in the greater Charleston area are invited to request complimentary tickets by submitting a brief application describing their services.

In 2011, Spoleto Festival USA provided more than 600 complimentary tickets to the following groups:

Ansonborough House – Association for the Blind – Carolina Youth Development Center – Coastal Crisis Chaplaincy – Florence Crittenton Programs of South Carolina – Haven Family Development Center – Meeting Street Academy – My Sister’s House – Our Lady of Mercy Outreach – Sea Island Habitat for Humanity – Summerville High School –  The Canterbury House – Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society of Trident Technical College – We are Family – Windwood Farm for Children

The application period for the 2012 festival season has passed, but please check back in April 2013 to find more information about receiving tickets for the Spoleto 2013.

Open Stage Door is sponsored in part by SCE&G, a SCANA company.

Dedicated to enriching communities through arts and culture.
