Welcome to Our Stage

Created in 1931, The Clemson Little Theatre is one of the oldest community theatres in South Carolina. Originally started by friends of Clemson University, many of its early productions (even into the 1970s) were performed in buildings on and around campus. Since 1992, CLT has made its home in its own theatre, the Pendleton Playhouse in lovely and historic Pendleton, SC.

Bonus Show Up Next: Belles… More Busted Than Ever

By Ginny McKinney

Directed by Danna Briggs

The lively characters from last season’s Busted Wedding Belles return to ​create more matrimonial mischief and merriment. Can wedded bliss ​survive a happy widow, a woman with a secret, a twice-divorced ​perpetual dater, a modern spinster cat lady, and other eccentrics? ​Whatever the answer, laughter is guaranteed along the way.

Who we are and what we value...

Community Focused

We are committed to engaging the ​community to partner with us in our mission ​to produce high-quality live theatre, whether ​that’s on stage, back stage, or in the ​audience.

Youth Involvement

Students play an important role in our ​theatre, and we focus on the youth in our ​community by producing at least two CAYT ​shows each season, in which students in ​grades 5-12 have substantial involvement.

Appreciation for Live Arts

We desire to cultivate appreciation for ​live theatre in our patrons and ​participants through a variety of show ​offerings, season membership, and a ​welcoming atmosphere.

CLT also accepts special donations.
