According to Lauren Clever, Downtown Development Director, the theater will have a variety of uses. Clever said “Any kind of performance, whether it’s musical, drama, could be a rock concert, movies, could be really anything.”

Clever also described the restorations the theater is undergoing saying, “We’re going to restore them back to their original characteristics. They’ll look like they did back in the day when they were functioning and vibrant.”

The first show to grace the stage of the Broadway Theatre will be Le Grand Cirque, which is set to begin on May 20th. It will run through October.

Myrtle Beach Expected to Be At 100 Percent Occupancy By May

As businesses begin to reopen and more people get vaccinated, it seems as though a return to “normal” is getting closer. Myrtle Beach officials are hoping to get businesses back to 100 percent occupancy by May.

Starting on April 1st, gyms, recreation centers and pools in Myrtle Beach can open to 75 percent occupancy. In addition, many government buildings throughout the city including City Hall and the City Services Building will also reopen on April 1st.

However, many of the buildings set to reopen will have their own protocols that visitors must abide by such as mask mandates and temperature checks.

Mark Kruea, Public Information Director for the City of Myrtle Beach, said that even though things are beginning to open up, everyone should still be vigilant. Kruea said “We need to be mindful that COVID still exists. There are still cases being reported, that you can still spread it to your friends and family or they can give it to you for that matter. The masks are still a good idea. They are still required in indoor facilities, including in restaurants through March.”

If cases continue to decline, Kruea hopes to open up to 100 percent occupancy by May.
