Charleston has plenty of interesting entertainment options to catch the eye of residents and visitors alike. While some options are extremely well-known, what about others you might not heard about? The following are some great ways to get a new perspective on Charleston entertainment.
An Interactive Murder Mystery Show
The chance to get caught up in the investigation of fictional crime while enjoying a meal has become one of the most intriguing types of entertainment to emerge in recent years. This type of show has become popular across the country as it provides a dynamic type of theater that everyone takes part in. Dinner is included and there’s a prize for the best sleuth who manages to work out who committed the crime.
This sort of interactive show is an interesting contrast to traditional theater, which can be found in places like Dock Street Theater and The Black Fedora Comedy Mystery Theatre. September brings a new season of shows with the premiere of Fat Ham by James Ijames, followed by The Last Five Years by Jason Robert Brown arriving here in October.
Gambling Cruises
If you don’t mind travelling a short distance to Little River, you can head out to sea and enjoy a casino cruise. Slot machines and table games like roulette and blackjack make this a highly varied way of gambling while enjoying the feeling of being at sea. These cruises leave shore close to Myrtle Beach, allowing gamblers to explore one of the country’s most vibrant and fastest-growing cities.
The emergence of online gambling has given people another new way of playing, with live casino games presented by human dealers among the innovative approaches. Games like blackjack and roulette are delivered in this way, with the action live-streamed onto the screen. Live game shows like Crazy Time have added a new dimension, with spinning wheels that can award prizes or bonus rounds.
Haunted Tours in the Evening
There are plenty of things to do in Charleston in the evening, but you might not realize that evening tours around the most haunted or spooky parts of the city are also possible. It’s regarded as one of the most haunted places in the country, with the Old City Jail of Charleston one of the most spine-tingling locations visited on tours of this nature.
The Old Exchange Building, Provost Dungeon, and Circular Congregational Church graveyard are among the oldest and most fascinating spots here where visitors have reported potential paranormal activity. Even some hotels here are said to be haunted, with 20 South Battery the site of an explosion that killed Civil War soldiers when it was known as The Battery Carriage House Inn. The popular haunted carriage tours around these and other spots make for a convenient way to hear some incredible stories.
If you’re looking for new ways to get entertained in and around Charleston, these are all good options to try that will let you see different aspects of the city you might not have noticed before now.
