The Sottile Theatre is a theater in downtown Charleston, South Carolina. It is owned by the College of Charleston, but many acting companies put plays on there. It has 800 seats. It was built in the 1920s by Albert Sottile. == History == The Theatre was built by Mr. Albert Sottile, President of Pastime Amusement Company. A building permit was pulled for a building costing $105,000 in late February or early March 1921, and construction began in 1922. It was originally named the Gloria Theatre and opened its doors on August 20, 1927, showing Norma Shearer's ''After Midnight''. With 2,000 seats, the theatre was the largest of its kind in the state of South Carolina. The Theatre served as both a vaudeville house and movie theatre and was designed as a smaller example of the great movie palaces of the era. The South Carolina premiere of Gone with the Wind, which highlighted the "charm and grace" of Charleston, was held at the theatre with most of the cast present. The theater was reworked in 1966. The theater served primarily as a movie house until it closed its doors in 1975. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sottile Theater」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
