Shows and Entertainment

Myrtle Beach theaters are the perfect complement to a wonderful beach vacation! Since 1986, when Calvin Gilmore and The Carolina Opry pioneered the Myrtle Beach area’s theater boom, the area has emerged as a hot spot for live family entertainment—offering the best in shows, music, dance, comedy, dinner theater, celebrity concerts, and movies. Allow The Myrtle Beach Area Convention & Visitors Bureau to be your guide to the many available outlets of entertainment on The Grand Strand.

Many of the theaters offer behind-the-scenes tours, spotlight interviews, and preshow performance opportunities.

New this year is the Myrtle Beach Arts & Gallery Trail. The Franklin G. Burroughs-Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum is one of more than 100 locations found on the digital trail, which was created by the Myrtle Beach Area Convention & Visitors Bureau in partnership with the museum and The Arts Grand Strand, a nonprofit organization devoted to promoting events related to the arts. Locations include galleries, sculptures, and some of the area’s more unusual public art displays, like a mural that flanks an underground passageway and critter statues found throughout the city of Conway. Users can access the trail on their mobile device to map out each location and check in upon arrival to earn points that may be redeemed for prizes.

Work is underway to create a new Arts and Innovation District in the heart of Myrtle Beach! The area includes Main Street, Broadway Street, Oak Street, and Ninth Avenue North. Buildings along Ninth Avenue North may be the first to redevelop, with plans already underway for a co-work and events space.
