Sottile Theatre, Arts venue in Charleston, United States.

The Sottile Theatre is a performance venue in Charleston with 785 seats in its main auditorium, several lobby spaces, and an outdoor balcony terrace with garden. The space accommodates different types of live performances throughout the year.

Albert Sottile's Pastime Amusement Company built the Gloria Theater, designed by C.K. Howell; construction began in 1922 and it opened on August 20, 1927, with 2,000 seats, the largest in South Carolina. It hosted vaudeville and films, including the state premiere of Gone with the Wind with cast member Alicia Rhett present. The College of Charleston bought it in 1976, used it for storage for a decade, and reopened it in February 1990 after renovations led by President Harry M. Lightsey Jr.

This venue brings together students and local residents to experience operas, plays, musicals, and concerts side by side. The performances shape the artistic life of the city and create a shared space for people from different backgrounds.

The outdoor garden terrace allows visitors to spend time outside before or after a show and gather with others. This additional space also serves as a venue for receptions and social events.
