“The level of service at TERRACE THEATER is fantastic. Having been a customer for many years, I am consistently impressed by the professionalism of every staff member I have come in contact with. Thank you!” THE SPARRICINO FAMILY!
"We sometimes go to the Terrace Theater without even checking the listings, because we know there will be at least one movie that we want to see. In fact, the hard thing is usually choosing which film to see first. The atmosphere in The Terrace is so nice, and it's great being among other film lovers, including the staff themselves. We don't know what we'd do without the Terrace-- it's one of our main meccas here in Chas. We are so glad to have access to so many great independent movies thanks to the Terrace."

Editorial - March 1, 2008
We made an effort to view the nominees for “Best Picture” of 2007, prior to the 80th Accademy Awards show. Our expectations seemed reasonable.
On Wednesday, February 20, 2008, we went to our local Regal Cinema to see “Atonement.” Thirty minutes into the film, the screen went blank. In a short time, the film started again. Although some sections appeared in soft focus, we watched the remainder of “Atonement” without incident.
The next day, we went back to the same theater to see “There Will Be Blood.” A few minutes into the film, a loud buzzing noise obscured the audio track of the film. After several minutes of this, we left and asked for a refund. The woman in the ticket booth was pleasant and refunded our money.
Our experience at the local Consolidated Theater, the Palmetto Grand, wasn’t much better. Some time ago, we went to see another “Best Picture” nominee. The audio was so low we could only hear it by cupping our hands to our ears. We could also hear the clicking of the projector. The explosions from the film in the adjoining screening room competed with the film we were trying to watch.
On Friday, February 22, we went to see "Juno" at the Terrace Theatre, a locally owned independent theater. The film was shown without mechanical failure. The image was in focus. The sound was clear. The seats were comfortable. We recommend the Terrace Theatre. There is nothing like the experience of going to the movies. It is fun to see a movie on a big screen, to share the laughter or screams with other people, to reflect on what you saw as you drive home. You don't get those experiences watching a DVD at home. But, if the movie isn't properly shown, we might as well stay home.
LISTED AS A MUST SEE IN CHARLESTON TERRACE THEATER THE NEW YORK TIMES! (2008)
