Spamalot

Thursday, July 30, 2026, 7:30pm

Price $80

SPAMALOT gallops back to the Peace Center in a hilarious new revival direct from Broadway. Featuring a book and lyrics by Eric Idle and music by John Du Prez and Eric Idle, the original production won three Tony Awards® in 2005, including Best Musical.

The side-splitting musical comedy is lovingly ripped off from the film classic, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and has everything that makes a great knight at the theater, from flying cows to killer rabbits, British royalty to French taunters, dancing girls, rubbery shrubbery, and of course, the Lady of the Lake.

Spamalot is recommended for ages 8+.

The House I Live In: Josh White's America

Friday, July 31, 2026, 8pm

Price $80

Born in Greenville, Josh White rose from leading blind street musicians through the Upstate to national fame in the 1930s and '40s — becoming the first Black artist to sell a million records, sharing stages with Billie Holiday, Woody Guthrie, and Duke Ellington at New York's Café Society (the nation's first integrated nightclub), and standing as a civil rights pioneer even as the House Un-American Activities Committee tried to silence him.

Now his story comes home in SCNPF's first-ever full production, featuring costumes, scenery, lighting, and choreography in the fully air-conditioned Cristal Palace. Commissioned from award-winning playwright Donnetta Lavinia Grays and built on three years of original research and interviews with White's family, local historians, and Greenville community leaders — including the late Ruth Ann Butler, Mary Duckett, Beverly White, and Josh White Jr. — this one-act World Premiere, directed by Tamilla Woodard with musical direction by Wesley Hix, is rooted in the real voices of the people who knew him and the city that shaped him. You can only see it here.

Recommended for ages 12+
Show is one-act and runs about 90 min.
