Emerald Coast Theatre Company (ECTC), a not-for profit professional theatre company, is expanding their after school and weekend programs by opening them up to younger children and extending the number of weeks the classes will last in order to implement more training into the programs. The Spring 2016 program will begin in January and last until April, with dates varying by program.
ECTC will offer three different programs: “The Little Rascals Theatre,” “School House Rock Live! Jr.,” and “Into the Woods, Jr.” that will reach children in Okaloosa, Walton and Bay counties.
“The Little Rascals Theatre” is designed for Pre-K through first graders and focuses on activities that allow energetic exploration of acting, singing, and movement in a nurturing environment.
“School House Rock Live! Jr.” is based on the Emmy® Award-winning educational cartoon series. This program consists of singing, dancing and acting with rehearsals, theatre games and exercises. School House Rock Live! Jr. is open to grades 2-5 in South Walton, Destin, Crestview and Fort Walton. It is open to grades 2-8 in Panama City.
“Into the Woods, Jr.” is an adaptation Sondheim’s popular work bringing together Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, and the Witch in this whimsical story designed for young performers. This program will be offered in Destin and is open to grades 4-9.
Emerald Coast Theatre Company is excited to continue its mission of providing theatre art education to Northwest Florida communities, especially their children’s educational programs.
“Educational programs are at the heart of ECTC! We are so excited about working with our location partners to allow children to find creativity and confidence on stage,” said Nathanael Fisher, Producing Artistic Director of ECTC.
