Charleston Stage’s production of “Fiddler on the Roof” masterfully intertwines themes of love, change, hope, and family, delivering a performance that deeply resonates with modern audiences. The timeless classics “Matchmaker,” “Sunrise, Sunset,” and “If I Were a Rich Man” guide viewers through a poignant narrative celebrating life’s beauty amid adversity.
As the story unfolds in the humble village of Anatevka, the clash between traditional values and new ideas about love amplifies the production’s impact. An electrifying scene in the village bar during Act I nearly brings the audience to their feet in celebration.
Logan Edris portrays Tevye with remarkable depth, skillfully balancing the complexities of fatherhood, family struggle, and tradition while revealing vulnerabilities of limited education, faith, and change.
Abigail Vernan (Tzeitel), Arrione Magee (Chava), and Kelsie Engen (Hodel) bring raw emotion to their roles as Tevye’s daughters, seeking unconditional love in a time of traditional matchmaking. Sam Majors shines as Motel, offering hope with his deep sense of acceptance, while Kathy Summer delights as Yente, infusing sharp Jewish humor into her role as the village matchmaker.
The set design captures the essence of poor Jewish life in Russia with grace. The strategic placement of the orchestra behind the homes stage left enhances the theater’s acoustics, creating an immersive experience.
For two and a half hours, audiences will find themselves smiling, laughing, and reconnecting with a deeper appreciation of heritage. “Fiddler on the Roof” proves to be a joyous production that beautifully kicks off Charleston Stage’s new season, reminding us of the enduring power of family and tradition in the face of change.
The show runs from August 28 to September 22, 2024, at the Dock Street Theatre. A special PNC Pay-As-You-Please performance is available on August 28, with ticket sales opening online 24 hours prior to the performance. An ASL-interpreted performance is scheduled for August 30.

Joint Venture to Purchase and Grow the Only Large-Scale, Beachfront Resort
in Coastal Georgia’s Golden Isles
ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga., Aug. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — South Street Partners (“South Street”), a leading private equity real estate investment firm headquartered in Charlotte and Charleston, and TPG Real Estate, the dedicated real estate platform of global alternative asset management firm TPG, announced today that they have formed a joint venture (the “JV”) to acquire The King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort (“The King and Prince” or “the resort”), the largest beachfront resort in coastal Georgia’s Golden Isles.
South Street and TPG Real Estate are acquiring the resort and golf club from MMI Hospitality Group (“MMI”), a Mississippi-based, family-owned and operated private investment partnership focused on service industry businesses, who initially invested in the property nearly 45 years ago. The King and Prince will continue to be operated by MMI Hotel Group, their management division. The JV will focus on elevating the resort and club offerings, with plans for a comprehensive renovation to rooms and common spaces. This capitalization is the latest investment by South Street’s inaugural SSP GP Fund I. Breakwater, a Charleston-based hospitality investment, development, and advisory firm served as the exclusive agent to the seller.
South Street Partners & TPG Real Estate Partners IV Aquire The King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort
Located on St. Simons Island, the 142-key resort campus spans nearly six acres with direct beach access and amenities that include bars and restaurants, resort style swimming pools, and sport courts. Guests can enjoy an 18-hole golf course at The King and Prince Golf Club, located just a few miles north of the hotel. The resort offers 10,000 square feet of meeting space, along with a tented lawn for events and celebrations. The property includes developable land and beachfront condos for purchase.
“This transaction represents a compelling opportunity to acquire the largest, beachfront resort located on St. Simons Island out of long-term family ownership. Both the resort and golf club complement our existing portfolio of exceptional assets located in high-growth, Southeastern markets. We are excited to be partnering with TPG on the acquisition; our teams are well-positioned to work with the Sturdivant family, MMI, and the local community to revitalize and re-launch this iconic asset through a comprehensive renovation over the next few years,” said Chris Randolph, Partner, South Street.
“This is a unique opportunity to acquire an irreplaceable resort that is positioned for continued growth through its beachfront location in a supply-constrained market,” said Tripp Johnson, Partner with TPG. “We are pleased to partner with South Street, which has a distinctive track record in transformational renovations of leisure hotels, and the Sturdivant family and MMI, with their deep local expertise, to support and enhance the asset.”
“We are honored to partner with South Street and TPG as we embark on the next great chapter of our beloved resort. Since 1980, The King and Prince and MMI’s legacies have been tightly interwoven, our ideals strategically aligned to curate a cherished vacation destination known for its authentic Southern hospitality, one that will endure for generations,” said Micajah P Sturdivant IV, Chief Executive Officer of MMI. “South Street and TPG truly appreciate the distinctive character of this iconic property, its rich history, and most importantly its significance to the Golden Isles. This collaboration will generate many new possibilities, and I am eager to see what the future holds.”

Here is another reason to be appreciative of our Charleston, South Carolina home: The South Carolina Burn Center at MUSC.
Here is what you need to know:
The South Carolina Burn Center at MUSC Health is the state’s only comprehensive burn center and is one of the few centers in the region. In addition to adult care, we are the only pediatric burn referral center in South Carolina, offering pediatric burn care at the MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children’s Hospital. We care for hundreds of children each year in our hospital, emergency department and outpatient locations. We treat all burns, ranging from minor to severe.
As experts in burn care, we recognize that multiple aspects of a patient’s and families’ life are affected. You and your child will have access to a compassionate team of pediatric burn care trained clinicians and support staff who provide the most advanced care in a specialized environment.
Recell®:
We are very pleased to offer Recell to our patients. Our surgeons make a skin cell spray that can be used instead of a traditional skin graft for certain burns. This decreases pain and time in the hospital. Recell helps the burn surgeons cover more surface area of a burned area with less of the patient’s own skin, allowing patients to heal faster with a better cosmetic outcome. We are one of the only pediatric burn centers in the South that provide this new technology to our patients.
Burn injuries affect the way children move and function. Our specialized occupational and physical therapists use their burn care expertise to develop holistic rehabilitation plans that will enable your child to have the best functional outcomes. We work with you during your hospital stay and in our outpatient pediatric burn clinic at the MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children’s Hospital.
Our psychologists and social workers understand that healing from burn injuries can be challenging, particularly in young children and adolescents. This is a unique population that requires specialized support from the moment of the burn injury through surgery and rehabilitation. That is why we focus on treating the whole person. Our psychologists are here to support you as you heal and help you get back to who you were before the injury.
Pediatric burn care at The South Carolina Burn Center at MUSC Health is one of the leading pediatric burn programs in the country. Dr. Aaron Lesher, the pediatric burn medical director, has developed a clinical research program that aims to improve access to burn care for children across the state and region. Because so many of our patients live long distances from the burn center, Dr. Lesher developed a mobile phone app, called TOBI, which helps patients access the burn team when they have left the hospital. Dr. Lesher is studying this new way to access burn experts through a generous grant from the National Institutes of Health.
We are also advancing the practice of pediatric burn care through clinical trials that improve outcomes for these burn-injured children. We offer several multi-institutional trials in burn care that can decrease the need for skin grafting, leading to improved outcomes in burn scar appearance and function.
The SC Burned Children’s Fund is a partnership between the MUSC Children’s Health pediatric burn team and South Carolina firefighters. Firefighters and community partners raise funds through aluminum can recycling and special events to provide funds to support children and their families through burn recovery and to promote burn awareness and fire prevention activities in South Carolina.
The SC Burned Children’s Fund also sponsors an annual summer camp for burn-injured children called Camp ‘Can’ Do.
Why choose burn treatment at MUSC Health?
