Harmony, heart, and timeless hits take center stage as Emerald Coast Theatre Company (ECTC) presents Forever Plaid, a quartet musical, running February 12 through March 1 at its theatre at Grand Boulevard in Miramar Beach.
Forever Plaid tells the charming and nostalgic story of four close-harmony singers who get one last chance to perform the show they never got to give after tragically passing away in a car crash. Packed with pitch-perfect harmonies and beloved classics from the 1950s, including “Chain Gang,” “Sixteen Tons,” “Catch a Falling Star,” and more, this heartwarming musical celebrates friendship, dreams, and the enduring power of music.
“Forever Plaid celebrates both the golden age of harmony and the kind of music that brings people together,” said Nathanael Fisher, Producing Artistic Director of Emerald Coast Theatre Company. “It’s full of charm, laughter, and beautiful harmonies that remind us why live theatre feels so special.”
The production features a talented cast led by Vincent Pelligrino—returning to ECTC after playing Burt in Mary Poppins—as Smudge, Tommy Bergeron—returning to the stage following ECTC’s most recent production, Murder on the Orient Express—as Jinx, Michael Votaw as Sparky, and Jacob Feldstein as Francis. Together, this ensemble brings warmth, humor, and impeccable harmony to this beloved nostalgia trip.
The creative team for Forever Plaid includes Trenton Bainbridge as Director, Ora Wolfgram as Properties Master, Maxwell Jenns-Binetti as Stage Manager, Tommy Bergeron as Music Director, Vincent Pelligrino as Choreographer, Taylor Walker as Costume Designer, Carl Hendin as Master Carpenter, Rebeca Lake as Lighting and Scenic Designer, Gavin Young as Sound Engineer.
ECTC’s 2025–2026 season is made possible with generous support from Grand Boulevard Town Center, St. Joe Community Foundation, Visit South Walton, Howard Group, and Jerry and Alice Zich.
