The Historic Dock Street Theatre was built on the corner of Church Street and Dock Street (now known as Queen Street). The theatre was the first building in America built exclusively to be used for theatrical performances. In 1935, the present day theatre was constructed using the original architecture of the Plantar Hotel, built in 1809. The theatre's second grand opening took place on November 26, 1937. The theatre reopened for the third time on March 18, 2010 after a three year, $19 million dollar renovation, to bring the theatre into the 21st century, by the City of Charleston. The theatre produces over 100 performances each season.
