Who’d a thunk it? Despite being plagued by downpours and damp days throughout most of its length, the last-minute cancellation of jazz series headliner Shirley Horne’s concert, and a main theatre production so unpopular that box office administrators began discounting tickets for it as early as the festival’s opening weekend … Spoleto Festival USA managed to break yet another box office record — making this the third year in a row they’ve beaten the previous year’s sales. Total box office reciepts this year came in at $2.532 million: $2,000 more than 2005’s box office, but an improvement no less, particularly considering the weather and other programming factors that had many speculating sales would nosedive for this year. It’s nice to see the cynics were proved wrong.
