Open Stage Door

Spoleto Festival USA is committed to being not just a wonderful event that happens in Charleston, but also a wonderful 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, Spoleto’s 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 the greater Charleston area are invited to request complimentary tickets by submitting a brief application describing their services.

Applications will be available in the fall. Once completed, they can be submitted by mail, fax, or email.
