EXPERIENCE ART LIVE.MUSICALS, PLAYS & SPECIAL EVENTS.Established in 1969Fifty-Three Years of Live TheatreTOR is a 5013c not for profit organization.
The mission of the Theatre of the Republic (TOR) is to be a major cultural resource. We shall do so by providing affordable, quality theatre which provides diversity in our offerings to the community. This includes diversity in the selection of plays produced, diversity in the content of the programs presented, diversity in the casts and production crews who participate, and diversity in the opportunities provided to experienced and aspiring artists. We believe it is important that TOR engender inclusiveness that cuts across racial lines, gender roles, religious views, socio-economic status, age groups, and sexual orientation for both the artists and the community.
A BETTER EXPERIENCE, MADE POSSIBLE BY YOU!Over the years, Main Street Theatre has continued to enhance the theatre experience for our patrons. From LED stage walls and a new LED proscenium to improved sound, digital production posters, interior improvements, and even a sidewalk theatre viewing monitor! These enhancements have helped bring our productions to life in new ways. But these improvements don't happen on their own.
They are made possible through the generosity and support of our incredible community of partners, sponsors, and donors, including the South Carolina Arts Commission, City of Conway, Horry County, our Senate Legislation and so many others who believe in the importance of the arts.
Every contribution, grant, and sponsorship helps us make meaningful improvements, expand opportunities, and create a better experience for everyone who walks through our doors. This is what community support looks like. And we couldn't do it without you!
