Calvin Gilmore – pioneer of Myrtle Beach Entertainment
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 38th season, the critically acclaimed theater boasts over 10,000 performances. 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 be designated “Most Outstanding Attraction” by the state of South Carolina, to be called “Top Myrtle Beach Attraction” by CNBC and to be voted #1 every single year! If you are looking for top quality Myrtle Beach Shows, look no further than The Carolina Opry Theater.
