EMERALD COAST THEATRE COMPANY OFFERS SEVEN FALL EDUCATIONAL YOUTH CLASSES AND PROGRAMS
Miramar Beach, Fla. (July 31, 2019) — Calling all ‘drama queens’ (and kings) from tots to teens to take the stage and take part in Emerald Coast Theatre Company’s (ECTC) Fall 2019 Theater Educational Programs now serving DeFuniak Springs.
“We are looking forward to an exciting fall this year with growth in our programming at our performance space in Grand Boulevard Town Center and the launch of a partnership with the Florida Chautauqua Theatre in DeFuniak Springs for an educational outreach program there,” said ECTC co-founder and producing artistic director Nathanael Fisher. “We realize most of the schools in our community cannot offer the theater arts and so we are thrilled to be able to supplement with our professional education programs.”
ECTC has extended its educational programming. This year, each of the classes are offered for a longer duration. The ECTC Little Rascals program is approximately 9 weeks long, while ECTC Kids and Teens programs span 13 weeks, providing young thespians more time to engage and learn.
All programs are offered at either Emerald Coast Theatre Company’s (ECTC) performance space located at 560 Grand Boulevard in Grand Boulevard Town Center in Miramar Beach or at the Florida Chautauqua Theatre (FCT) located at 848 Baldwin Ave. in DeFuniak Springs.
