The published number for the venue is +1-843-853-1810.

Programming it
The seats do not move, which is the whole trade. You get sightlines, acoustics and a lighting rig you would otherwise have to rent, and you give up the ability to put tables in the room. American Theater is 4th of 6 such houses mapped in Charleston.
- award ceremonies
Fixed seating, sightlines and a lighting rig are the hard parts, and they are already here.
- product launches
A single-track room with a real stage is the right shape for a launch.
- multi-track conferences
Works as a plenary house with breakouts booked elsewhere in the city.
What event67 costs at this capacity
Take 240 people through the door in American Theater — a plausible programme at a venue of this kind in Charleston. The first 50 activated attendees are free on every event, so only the rest are billed, and the total stops moving at 1,000 however many more turn up.
