Annual Character Breakfast – We just want to give you a heads up that the South Carolina Children’s Theatre’s annual Character Breakfast is coming up on Saturday, March 9, 2019. This breakfast is a significant event in that it’s the only chance in Greenville to experience 30 characters at the same event and it’s really a magical moment for the children who attend. It’s also an event that typically sells out, so now is the time to book your seats. Find more information on the SCCT website.
