Bringing Holiday Cheer since 2004

The Lowcountry Holiday Spectacular first began in 2004 as the Bluffton Holiday Spectacular at the May River Theatre. Over the years, it grew and eventually moved to the Bluffton High School Auditorium. When the recession hit, we faced the difficult decision to pause this beloved annual tradition.

After COVID, our community was craving joy, connection, and live theatre once again. That’s when we decided to reimagine and relaunch the show—now as the Lowcountry Holiday Spectacular—with fresh branding, a new musical director (Josh Wall), and an all-new energy that brought audiences leaping into the holiday season. In 2024, we were thrilled to welcome nearly sold-out crowds at Hilton Head High School!

Now in our 4th year, we’re bringing a brand-new storyline, an expanded creative team, and even more opportunities for our talented local actors and singers—this time under the direction of Musical Director Melinda Bray.

We can’t wait to share the magic with you—and there are four exciting ways you can be part of it:
