Columbia Children’s Theatre moving to West Columbia

WEST COLUMBIA, S.C. — A huge swell of artistic influence is coming to West Columbia and it’s all thanks to a partnership between the city of West Columbia, the Brookland Lakeview Empowerment Center and the Columbia Children’s Theatre.

As of last week, the Richland Mall is under new ownership, which means a change for the groups using that space, one of whom is the Columbia Children’s Theatre.

So now the theatre is moving to the Brookland Lakeview Empowerment Center, something that’s been in the works for years. Jerry Stevenson is the theatre’s artistic director and co-founder.
