Stop into Circular's beautiful historic sanctuary for the Friday Music at Noon concert featuring Mark Rapp and the Soda City Brass Band. It's free and everybody is welcome!

Jazz was born in the streets — in parades, dances, church processions, neighborhood celebrations, and the deep cultural rhythms of port cities like New Orleans and Charleston. Trumpeter Mark Rapp and the Soda City Brass Band Mark Rapp Group bring that joyful spirit to Piccolo Spoleto with a high-energy, family-friendly concert celebrating New Orleans brass band traditions.

Set inside Charleston’s historic Circular Congregational Church, one of the South’s oldest congregations, this performance connects powerful music with a powerful sense of place. Expect second-line grooves, call-and-response, collective improvisation, and the irresistible swing that helped shape America’s great art form. Part concert, part cultural journey, this free noon performance invites audiences of all ages to clap, move, listen, and feel jazz where it first lived: in the community.

"5 Le****ns Eating a Quiche" is here! Do you have your tickets?

Pearls will be clutched. Eggs will be devoured. Secrets will be unleashed as Charleston’s Absent Friends proudly presents this cult-favorite—a high-camp, laugh-out-loud romp set in 1956. The fiercely devoted officers of the Susan B. Anthony Society for the Sisters of Gertrude Stein gather for their annual quiche breakfast … just as air-raid sirens sound and the world outside begins to unravel. What follows is an absurd, heartfelt and wildly funny satirical look at sisterhood and truly egg-cellent fun. *Recommended for ages 18+ (younger patrons are welcome with an adult guardian).
May 28 & 29 at 7:30 p.m. (doors at 7:00pm)
