Emerald Coast Theatre Company (ECTC) continues to see the fruits of its labor during its seventh season, celebrating new attendance records for educational final performances as well as the continuing partnership with the Florida Chautauqua Theatre in DeFuniak Springs. “ECTC was founded because of the need for educational theatre opportunities in our community,” said Anna Fisher, ECTC’s Associate Artistic and Education Director.  “We are thrilled with the growth we have seen at our Grand Boulevard location, and we are so excited about the new partnership with the Florida Chautauqua Theatre in DeFuniak Springs.” ECTC has increased the duration of its educational programs for its youngest cast members, the Little Rascals. ECTC Kids and Teens programs continue to span roughly 13 weeks. All programs are offered at either ECTC’s performance space at 560 Grand Boulevard in Miramar Beach or at the Florida Chautauqua Theatre at 848 Baldwin Ave. in DeFuniak Springs.
