Monkeying Around at Wild Blue Ropes

One of the many reasons we celebrate Charleston is the unique and challenging activities that surround us.  We are becoming a mecca of health and wellness with Yoga in the Park, rock climbing walls, shagging, boot camps, Sky Zone, disc golf and now a rope challenge course that defies gravity offering children, adults, and families and teams the opportunity to motivate, break down the barriers of fear and use the principles of balance, athletics, courage and fun in a memorable way.

Wild Blue Ropes from a distance, as you drive down Folly Road, continues to turn heads daily.  Its complex structure and stimulating visual has created quite a buzz.

We decided to take the challenge head on.  Not notoriously strong on the balance side,  I was  a little concerned, but after only about 20 minutes, I began to rely less on the rope supports and more on my balance skills.  Careful:  the first time you look down, it is a doozer of a view.

Looks a bit intimidating.

Early on, we were holding on for dear life.  No fear! No fear!  All fun.

Starting to feel much more comfortable.

This challenge looks a little tricky.  One step at a time.

Just hanging around.  Nothing to it.

Look, walking in the path of Big Foot.  Watch the footsteps…

We had a long fulfilling afternoon at Wild Blue Ropes.  Let’s just chill and relax for a while high off the ground.

Overall, this is a remarkable experience.  Wild Blue Ropes has catered to everyone from under 10 to 74 years old and like us, they left energized, fulfilled and wanting more.

This is high on our list of unique fun Charleston activities to put on your personal bucket list.

By Minta Pavliscsak

The New Year is almost upon us! To honor it, we came up with a list to help you kick off 2022 with a fresh look. Despite how this past year has been for you, a different perspective is always a good thing. Whether you take today to start or wait until spring, sometimes all we need is a little inspiration to help get us going. 

1) Invite a friend to catch up over coffee at a locally owned coffee shop.

2) Take a different route during your stroll around the neighborhood. 

3) Purchase tickets for a play/musical or comedy show. 

4) Relax in a park. Bring a picnic, magazine, or just soak in what’s around.

5) Finally do that tourist activity you’ve been secretly wanting but have yet to do.

6) Browse a local art gallery.

7) Write down your top five favorite spots in the area. When is the last time you’ve explored these?

8) Organize your pantry, and take those dusty dry goods you’ll never use to one of the many Blessing Boxes in the area.

9) Extend a hello to a new neighbor. 

10) Go out to listen to a local band.

11) Walk or bike The Bridge. Already do this? Check out a new pedestrian friendly path. 

12) Search for shark teeth or unique seashells on your favorite beach.

13) Treat yourself to a meal at a restaurant you have yet to try.

14) Learn something new about Charleston by visiting a historical site.

15) Hit the water for a day of fishing. No boat? No problem! All In One runs charters year round, and with knowledgeable guides like Capt. Chris you won’t be disappointed. 

16) Donate those books that have been used to collect dust to a Little Free Library.  

17) Send a handwritten letter to a loved one.

18) Try out one of the recreation programs offered by Charleston County Parks.

19) Focus on yourself by taking a “Me Day.” You’ve earned it! 

20) Pick up a book to read written by a local arthur.

21) Snap a photo of your favorite spot and post it to share with others.

22) Gas up the car and hit the road for a daytrip.

We hope you enjoy this 22 Day Challenge as much as we do! We would love to hear how your challenge goes! Be sure to tag us in your adventures, and don’t forget to share what you’re doing with friends. Good luck with the list, and a very Happy New Year to you and yours!

Charleston’s 34 West Theater Company has record breaking 14 straight sell out weeks

Read More

Our current show has sold out 14 weeks in a row. That’s a new record. Actor Becca Anderson and co-owners Jeff Querin and Stephen Wayne deliver hilarious comedy every night to full houses and happy hearts, with the mod and subversive GROOVY KINDA LOVE.

Actor-writer-owner Jeff Queri

Many of our shows regularly sell out because they’re original comedies, never-before-seen. We write to our actor’s strengths and if a certain character is a home run, we’ll incorporate that character in another show down the road.

Over the past 7 years, our universe of recurring characters and continuing stories has grown exponentially. Successful shows have had sequels. Popular characters get their own spin-off.

Combine these with a charming boutique theater in downtown Charleston and you get a delightful experience that will leave you smiling long after the show is over…

…that is, if you can get a ticket 🙂
