Theater History

The Man Behind The Music

Meet Calvin Gilmore The impressive variety of live music shows in Myrtle Beach can be traced back to one man, Calvin Gilmore, and his singular vision that first-rate entertainment could thrive along the Grand Strand. The Carolina Opry Theater was the first live theater to open in Myrtle Beach and the only one in the area for 7 years. Several years and many successes later, a number of corporations have followed Gilmore’s model and opened theaters of their own. Now in its 32nd season, the critically acclaimed theater boasts over 9,000 performances and has been running longer than any show in Broadway history. Gilmore’s exceptionally high standards for talent and production quality have been recognized by the industry and the public; his shows are the only shows to win the state’s highest tourism award, The Governor’s Cup.
