Measuring Up with Melanie Green
Behind the Scenes
Did you know we begin making the actors’ costumes before they even arrive on Hilton Head Island?
We count on the accuracy of the measurements they provide in advance of their arrival! Watch as the Arts Center’s Costume Shop Manager Melanie Green demonstrates the right way to take measurements! This could help you at home, too: you’ll finally know your inseam!
The Voices of El Shaddai
Streaming Concert Coming in September
As many of you know, The Voices of El Shaddai, led and founded by our own Gail Ragland, was recently bestowed the Jean Laney Harris Folk Heritage Award by the S.C. Arts Commission.
We are going to be celebrating this magnificent gospel choir group and their cultural contributions to our area with a concert coming to a streaming device near you in September! The concert will be filmed on our stage in late August, and streamed for our audiences, who will be able to view for free via online registration.
Jeffrey Reeves, the Arts Center’s CEO/President said, “We are thrilled to be celebrating the music, tradition, and cultural significance of The Voices of El Shaddai with this concert! The Arts Center is extremely proud of the group’s well-deserved recognition.”

Virtual Field Trips
Coming Soon!
We are excited to be offering field trips that will be held virtually for our homeschoolers as well as for school groups.
