About SCETI

The South Carolina Experimental Theatre Initiative (SCETI) aims to push the boundaries of theatre in South Carolina while also building local, authentic, artistic community. With equal emphasis on both published and devised work, and roots in ensemble collaboration, we make work that challenges form, confronts tradition, and invites audiences to experience stories in new ways.

We are young, hungry, and committed to building a long-term creative home for experimental work in the Upstate. Your support makes that possible.

Why Your Support Matters

As a small, growing nonprofit, every gift goes directly toward:

Producing new devised work, and experimental productions of published work.
Compensating artists and designers for their craft
Building sets, props, costumes, etc
Funding rehearsal space, performance space rentals, and community engagement.
Taking bold work — like our adaptation of MEDEA — beyond South Carolina

Your donation strengthens the foundation we’re building and ensures that SCETI can continue to take risks, tell important stories, and serve our community.

What Your Gift Supports

Even a small monthly or one-time donation helps us create work that is brave, collaborative, and deeply intentional.

$10 → Printed scripts for our performers.
$25 → One hour of rental space
$50 → Rehearsal supplies and materials
$100 → Artist + designer stipends
$250+ → Funds a new production seed.
Custom Amount → Tailor your impact where you feel it most

Every dollar is meaningful. Every gift directly supports the ensemble.
