Since opening in 2018, Asher Theatre has quickly established a reputation as one of the Grand Strand’s must-see attractions. The theater’s signature show, Man of a Thousand Voices, stars multitalented impressionist and entertainer James Stephens III, who recently returned to his South Carolina roots in Myrtle Beach to give his one-man tribute show a permanent stage.

During the performance, Stephens seamlessly transitions between song, dance and comedy as he delivers spot-on impressions of celebrities like Chris Rock, Lil Wayne, Michael Jackson and Nat King Cole.

Asher Theatre takes pride in serving as a community center for kids, inspiring young artists through workshops on song, dance, music, art and more. Though Stephens leads many of the classes himself, the theater occasionally brings in other experienced artists to work with the kids.

“What students really benefit from at our theater is the depth and breadth of experience that James has to offer,” said Grace Stephens, who owns and runs the theater with her husband, James. “Normally, if you want vocal lessons, you find someone who specializes in that.

MYRTLE BEACH STUDENT GUIDE

But here, you have someone who can train you to sing and dance, teach you how to have more showmanship and bring out your personality through comedy.”

James Stephens also offers apprenticeship programs for individuals or groups, which can work with him oneon-one to learn more in depth about the entertainment industry. Participants can often perform onstage with Stephens, as an opening act.

Students can also take a technical tour of the theater with the production manager for an inside look at what it takes to run a show, from working the lights to the number of stagehands involved. Afterward, the group concludes its visit by taking pictures onstage with members of the cast or production team.

“If they’re serious about performing, they get to talk to people who are actually in the business and learn about what it takes to follow your dreams,” said national sales manager Ellen Calhoun.

GTS THEATRE

Founded in 2016 by former comedy stage hypnotists Beth and Richard Wylde, GTS Theatre is known for its fun, interactive shows. Despite being one of the newest theaters on the Grand Strand, it ranks as one of the top 10 things to do in Myrtle Beach on TripAdvisor.

GTS Theatre recently debuted a new comedy and stage magic show called “Surprise” that features awardwinning magician Michael Bairefoot.

CHILDREN’S MUSEUM OF SOUTH CAROLINA

EDVENTURE MYRTLE BEACH

Formerly known as the Children’s Museum of South Carolina, EdVenture Myrtle Beach provides a wonderful creative space for younger children to play, climb and create without the rules and limitations that characterize so many other museums.

In 2015, the museum merged with EdVenture in Columbia, South Carolina, the largest children’s museum in the Southeast, allowing the two educational facilities to pool their resources, outreach programs and exhibit materials. Thanks to the merger, EdVenture Myrtle Beach can now rotate its exhibits more frequently and bring in materials that appeal to a broader age group.

Catering to ages 8 and under, the 7,500-square-foot facility features hands-on activities like arts and crafts, foam building blocks, giant chess and gem mining. Guests can step into a hurricane simulator or study the constellations in a planetarium. At the gem mining station, children can learn about the differences between precious stones like rose quartz, hematite and quartz crystal. There are also a number of imaginative setups for role-playing games, such as a weather station, a construction site, a pizza delivery truck and a pirate ship playground with costumes.

Local schools frequently schedule field trips to the museum, using the interactive exhibits to reinforce lessons on weather, outer space, geology and physics. Friendly museum staff are always available to guide groups.

BURROUGHS-CHAPIN ART MUSEUM

Located in a lovely vintage beach house, the Franklin G. Burroughs-Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum is a small but dedicated organization that promotes regional artwork and strives to generate passion for the arts through hands-on community programming. The museum’s 11 rotating galleries showcase a variety of art mediums, including painting, textiles, sculpture, photography, ceramics and video.

“Our classes are always inspired by the artwork on display, and the exhibits change every three to four months, so children are always learning something new,” said Tracey Roode, education coordinator at the museum.

Since many of the museum’s featured artists live in the surrounding community, visitors can often interact with them directly through artist receptions, seminars and exclusive tours. In addition to its seasonal offerings of art classes and programs, the museum recently completed a beautiful pottery studio beneath the building where aspiring artists ages 15 and up can participate in professionally led pottery classes in either three- or six-week-long sessions.

Many educators prefer to schedule a 90-minute field trip that includes a guided tour of the current exhibits followed by a hands-on workshop in the studio.

Homeschool groups can attend a special homeschool program on the third Thursday of each month during the school year. Every month highlights a new theme, with past topics such as Nature’s Believe It or Not; In the Garden; and Fur, Feathers and Scales. The programs are led by nature education coordinators, who often incorporate an experiment or craft into the class.

Nestled amid sweeping live oak trees by the North Santee River, Hopsewee Plantation was once home to one of the largest rice plantations in the South. The beautiful 1740s-era manor house on the property originally belonged to Thomas Lynch Jr., a Revolutionary War leader and one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence.

Now a private residence and a National Historic Landmark, Hopsewee Plantation is open to the public for guided tours and private events. Visitors begin their tour with a 10-minute introductory video in one of the surviving slave cabins on the property, then follow a guide through the historic manor and grounds.

Afterward, groups can stop by the River Oak Cottage next door for an authentic low-country lunch or Southern tea. Among the restaurant’s delectable dishes are blue cheese spinach quiche, okra fritters, sweet potato casserole, and pimento cheese and biscuits.

Scavenger hunts are a popular way for student groups to explore some of the property’s rich history. With advance notice, educators can sometimes bring in a local Gullah historian to shed light on the history of rice planting, basket weaving and other important cultural factors in the plantation’s past.

Students visiting Hopsewee Plantation can also learn MYRTLE BEACH STUDENT GUIDE

SOUTH CAROLINA HALL OF FAME

Based inside the Myrtle Beach Convention Center, the South Carolina Hall of Fame pays homage to some of South Carolina’s most significant historical figures. There are 80 portraits on display; each features a brief biography and the individual’s outstanding contributions to state history in the fields of art, science, education, business, literature, sports, medicine and other areas of interest.

The honor roll of inductees includes individuals who were born in South Carolina and gained recognition for achievements outside the state, as well as people who were born elsewhere and later built a life and career in South Carolina. Though portraits are no longer commissioned for new inductees, visitors can access their names and information on audiovisual displays throughout the museum.

During their visit, students can learn about the Palmetto State’s rich past, tracing as far back as the French and Spanish explorers of the 16th century.

Sunset and Sea Life Cruises also features the twohour Saltwater Marsh Narrated Eco Cruise, which highlights the history and ecology of the area. Led by an experienced local guide, student groups can learn about the flora and fauna of the salt marsh as they come across native wildlife such as rare migratory birds resting in trees and alligators sunning themselves on the edges of sandy banks. They also get hands-on experiences with crabs, sea urchins and sand dollars.

Once a month on clear nights, groups can enjoy a Full Moon Cruise to witness the moonlight splayed across the waterfront.

CRAZY SISTER MARINA

Based in the sleepy fishing village of Murrells Inlet, the Crazy Sister Marina offers one of the region’s most diverse selections of boat rentals, themed cruises and water activities. Some of the rental options include sportfishing boats, banana boats, pontoons, jet skis, kayaks, paddleboards and inflatable dragon boats.

Students can climb aboard the New Inlet Princess for a two-hour deep-sea fishing voyage along the Continental Shelf and Gulf Stream, where they can snag their very own “catch of the day” as they hunt for bottom feeders like triggerfish, black sea bass and vermilion snapper.

The New Inlet Princess features a luxurious climatecontrolled cabin and a spacious open-air deck, allowing guests to enjoy an ocean excursion at any time of year.

Groups can also take advantage of a four-hour afternoon shark-fishing trip in search of Atlantic sharpnose sharks and grunts sharks up to three feet long.

Touted as the most popular ecotour on the Grand Strand, the Saltwater Marsh Eco Tour takes groups on a two-hour boat excursion into the mysterious reaches of the Murrells Inlet salt marsh, where they can expect to find wild crabs, oysters, sea turtles, herons and alligators. At one point, the guide pulls a live crab trap out of the water to show guests the curious crustaceans up close. Later, groups have the chance to disembark onto one of the sandy banks and comb the shore for shells.

Younger children will enjoy the 75-minute Pirate Ship Adventure aboard the Barefoot Bounty, which includes activities like face painting, water cannon battles and treasure hunts.

ROPES COURSES

Aerial adventure parks can serve as a great way to bolster confidence and team building with students.

Nestled amid a beautiful five-acre forest, Radical Ropes Adventure Course caters to all ages and skill levels with a variety of treetop obstacle courses, rock-climbing walls and zip lines. Each visit begins with a brief safetytraining session. Over the course of two and a half hours, kids have free rein to explore the park as they climb over log bridges, swinging steps and more, with some levels rising as high as 55 feet.

One section includes a 70-foot-tall climbing wall and the Leap of Faith platform, from which climbers can rappel back down using an automatic belay system. In the KidZips area, children aged 4 to 8 can have their own adventures on small-scale zip lines and obstacles under 10 feet tall.

HUNTINGTON STATE PARK

SCENES AT HUNTINGTON STATE PARK

Just south of Murrells Inlet, Huntington State Park is one of South Carolina’s most distinctive natural landmarks.

This 2,500-acre spread of lush marshland and sand dunes supports a vibrant ecosystem of wildlife such as alligators, loggerhead turtles and more than 300 species of birds.

There are many reasons why travelers love returning to Huntington State Park, from top-notch surf fishing to seaside camping and some of the best bird-watching opportunities that South Carolina has to offer. Nature trails weave throughout the saltwater marsh, passing an observation tower as well as a freshwater lake where alligators and the occasional mink might be lurking.

Student groups can learn more about the history and ecology of this biodiverse area at the park’s education center, which offers wildlife programs such as Secrets of the Salt Marsh, Spineless Wonders and Coastal Birding.

The park was founded during the Great Depression by local philanthropists Archer and Anna Hyatt Huntington, who also established the exquisite public sculpture garden Brookgreen Gardens on the other side of Highway 17.

The Huntingtons’ former winter home, Atalaya Castle, still stands on the property, and visitors can gain new appreciation for the couple’s legacy as they wander through the Moorish-style ruins. Various community events and festivities are held at the castle throughout the year, including the Atalaya Arts and Crafts Festival and the Atalaya Fall Festival and Haunted Castle.

Serving the Myrtle Beach community since 1948, Hurricane Fleet Marina offers exceptional deep-sea fishing excursions and dolphin cruises along the Gulf Stream of the Atlantic Ocean. The company is based on the region’s closest ocean port, allowing guests to make the most of their time on the water.

MYRTLE BEACH STUDENT GUIDE

DEEP-SEA FISHING WITH THE HURRICANE FLEET

The half-day fishing trip is the most popular option for families and students. This four-and-a-half-hour excursion takes groups over coral reefs and wrecks up to 15 miles offshore, where they will encounter colorful fish like king mackerel, barracudas, cobia sharks, sea bass and yellowfin tuna. Groups can pack their own lunches or pick up something to eat at the ship’s snack bar.

During the four-hour Dolphin Adventure Cruise, groups step aboard a 90-foot vessel for the afternoon as they lounge, enjoy the ocean views and keep an eye out for marine wildlife. Since Hurricane Fleet owns and operates its own shrimp boat, the Dolphin Adventure Cruise is able to pull alongside it and give passengers a front-row view as fishermen harvest their catches, pulling lively spreads of shrimps, crabs, starfish and other marine life onto the deck. Porpoises and sharks often feed off “by-catches,” fish unintentionally caught in the shrimp nets, providing some wonderful photo opportunities.
